I feel like we're headed towards a two-tiered world: People will be divided into those that are completely dependant on the state and massive conglomerates, and those that can somewhat maintain a semblance of independance. I'm not a total pessimist, but there is an undeniable trend towards higher #surveillance, erosion of #property rights and of #money, and of total control. It's imperative to build resilient, parallel networks that enable society and humanity to flourish. At least those who seek it...

What is the reason for #polls requiring #satoshis? I fear that integrating crypto into something as basic as polls might reduce #nostr adoption by #normies.

As an ex - #Telegram proselytizer, I'm saddened by the fact that Telegram's privacy protections are almost totally absent, and by the lack of solid alternatives. Lack of E2EE is a big no-no for chats, as it should be the default in all cases, and it's a shame that Telegram lacks it. #Matrix does this right, but from my testing all Matrix clients are wonky to use and not very user-friendly. #Signal's good, but requires a phone number to register, which I'd rather not need, as it limits your interactions with strangers, with whom you don't want to share something as personal as a phone number. #SimpleX seems like the most encouraging option right now. Totally encrypted, routed through #Tor, and removes even the most basic forms of #metadata (even usernames, if needed!). And it also has a relay-client architecture, like #Nostr. Thoughts?

Continuing with the ongoing controversy regarding #surrogacy in #Spain 🇪🇦, #UnidasPodemos 🟣 propose persecuting users of surrogacy services, even if that service was provided in foreign soil (such as the #US 🇺🇲, as it is the case in Obregón's case). What form would this persecution take? Would Podemos imprison the new fathers as they return? Force a return of the newborn to the surrogate mother, who ostensibly does not want it? Force the child into state custody? It's madness, in my opinion.
