why aren't you using nostr?
>>109105592Okay now what? Also, how do I know I just made an account with nostr and not some mitm?
>>109105646>We're done, Nigger!
>>109105695kek
>>109105592Why should I use any social media?
>>109105592Is that the social media shit mainly used by bitcoin ultras? Or was that another one? They all sound the fucking same.
Buy an ad.
>>109105592Because I don't use Jack's second attempt at a Twitter (formerly: Twitter) clone, just now full-send on the Blockchain!Haha, I'm sorry. But I'm sticking with Mastodon, since I get all the FOSS drama without Zuckkk, Muskkk, or Jackkk on it.
>>109105592>uncensored!>made by users, not corporations!>anyone can post whatever they want!>"Ok, so you have made an account. What now?">uhhhhhh>uhhhhhh>let's post food pics!So these sites legitimately have no usecase ...
>>109105941You could say you're Jack's complete lack of surprise.
>>109105892nostr is social media, but its full of illegal shit. this is the difference.
>>109105941>But I'm sticking with Mastodonwhich instance?
>>109105592by censorship-resistant you mean you can still clamp down on negativethink but you won't get banned for calling elon musk a nazi. any actual demonstration of its censorship-resistance?
>>109105950it's where weev hangs out nowadays>>109106002anywhere in the pleroma shitnexus is at least slightly more interesting than nostr still
>>109105592Is there any way to search it without logging in? Ideally without installing some third party client.
>>109108037>Can I access thing without joining it? No, fuck you
>>109108048This is why alt social media stuff like this will never take off. None of it is public. Even Instagram & Facebook offer some version of free no-login viewing even though they make it almost unusuable with login walls and reminders.
>>109108068wtf are you talking about there are multiple clients that show people without needing to sign in. I have posts that show up on search engines
I don't know what that is.
>>109108068The subset of people who care enough about privacy to not want faceberg spying on them and the people who want to broadcast everything they do to random strangers is unsurprisingly very small.
>>109108068> muh login wallit's almost like they want your data or something. wild.
>>109108174Yep, I managed to find them linked on the official site. But only after searching the site on Google (site:nostr.com). Maybe if you link to individual posts it does the same thing and shows the alt frontends to the side, but I literally can't check because it times out now for some reason. Great stuff. Either way, good on them for allowing in-browser alt frontends and even linking them, I guess.
>>109105592Nostr's flotilla works well as a side cart against discord as they succumb to big techs war march.>>109105941Haha nostr doesnt full send your messages in OP_RETURNS a good portion of bitcoiners forgot about how shitty it was to jean.py wikileaks deadmans and are blocking txs with lots of non financial data so the full send protocol is hashchan but thats ethereum blockchain
>>109105592i have nothing to say or share.
nu-/g/ is too stupid to care what this thing even is. it's a form of self-sovereign identity. you don't "sign up" on nostr you generate keys on your computer.
The alleged censorship resistance of Nostr is a big fat lie. If Nostr were truly resistant to censorship, then the platform would be full of illegal content. But that is not the case at all. Nostr is as clean as any mainstream platform. It is not an alternative. Nostr is censored by apps, clients, and relays. It is one single big lie. Nostr is a scam.
>>109105592I have Gemini if I want to shout into the void at weirdos
>>109105592how to shipost on nostr?
>>109105592your "social media" activity should amount to sending your friends photos and getting photos from them. even posting stories is value negative
>>109109381All that says is that censorship isn't protocol wide but instead in the hands of both users and relay operators/maintainers. This is how any p2p and federated network works. Hell even on altnets like i2p and freenet you're allowed to control what kind of content you view.This is how the internet should be, adults controlling their own experience, not having big centralized servers ran by corpos and governments controlling what we're allowed to view or not.Just as a disclaimer, I don't like nostr but your criticism is stupid.
>>109112294hypothetically: then how is the user supposed to see illegal shit (the definition of total free information) on nostr? primal blocks everything, amethyst blocks everything, all web clients block everything. how is the user supppsed to know which relays are uncensored? its a total waste of time.
>>109112399Same way a user finds .onion urls for illegal stuff.Even on freenet and i2p, the officially supported indices don't show urls of any websites that show illegal content, you have to find them yourself.
>>109105960>it's social media, but it's also a honeypot!Great sell glowie
>>109112722>just git gud broyeah fuck you too.
Is it filled with Indian AI/crypto grifters like everything else?
>>109112776You're upset that some users of the protocol ban certain things from their hostings. You're basically throwing a tantrum that others aren't sharing what you want on their hosted servers and relays.There will literally never be any public protocol where this can be prevented, people are free to use these things however they want. Some use it for illegal stuff, others don't.The solution here isn't to "git gud", it's to grow up.
>>109112776filtered
>>109112294>Hell even on altnets like i2p and freenet you're allowed to control what kind of content you view.dumb disingenuous retardo. how do you see "relays" and "apps" and decide to just wing it and pretend it's "users" and "users"?!the core of freenet is an anonymous distributed file system. peers can't block shit in transit, AND they can't block shit even in their own data stores, where small encrypted blocks of content is stored across the whole network. in other words, to make it impossible for middlers to recognize and block shit is a core principle.i2p gives you anonymous transport. so talking about it like it's an application, or a layer between applications and transport shows your retardation, or distinguishably. and since this is /g/, it's safe to assume it's both.if an i2p application wants full data blocking resistance, it can have it because of the provided anonymous transport. and if it doesn't want to, then that's possible too. because what i2p gives you is literally anonymous TCP-like and UDP-like sockets. so you can run literally any kind of application.
