So im busy prepping my keynote for BTCPrague where i will argue that most of you are just dead wrong (but you will ignore my words, guarenteed so thats ok) and do what everyone says is the thing you are not supposed to do. But after prague I will sit down with Ostein and see if my converting his website into a nostrified website trick worked to get the point across. And if it did, and he likes it, then the next stage will be really straight forward: All you fucks just need to go and task your agents to pirate contentcreators/peoples/business their website, rip it, nostrify it, and SHOW THEM WHY NOSTR IS BETTER. It makes maintaining their site easier, and solves a reach issue for any of their audience/friend/customers that are already on Nostr, not having to go to their h t t p : / / w w w . w e b s i t e . c o m in order to access their stuff in a sovereing/censorship resistant way. Will keep you posted in a week, or see you at #BTCPrague

i guess we could have had a fruitful conversation about online abusive behavior in the context of Nostr and relay operators; the practical, the preferable and the legal. Instead we get just more drama. In short: one npub makes claims about another npub, and that bothers that other npub so much to the point a letter written by a lawyer was send to a relay operator requesting (no explicit demands as far as i can tell btw) removal of posts. Observing all this i wonder about a few things, and have some notes. Why does one consistently engage with their harasser? Were the tools and means to disassociate/block not sufficient? Or was it mere personal psychological failure/folly in trying to defend ones name/honor irt some Anon out there? Or a combination of both? What if it is not some random Anon? What about this is something "tech" can deal with. what about this is just the "human"/inter-social domain, and what/when do things cross into the legal domain? What role do relay operators play in all of this? Is there a difference between the type of relay? The relay in question is what could be called a "general" relay, in the sense there is no particular rhyme of reason to the content available on that relay. You would not query a relay feed from this relay, people use this relay as their in/out-box. This is important in a practical sense because removal of content on such a relay initiates a probably useless game of whack-a-mole. It would however make sense if the relay is curated, and people do use the relay for the particular relay feed it provides; removal in that case does matter, because users specifically go to that "location" for whatever it is that "place" contains/provides. There is more going on than just this hard distinction between general and curated relays, in terms of what replies to a post from not-followed and or previously unknown npubs one gets to see. But keeping this distinction up for a moment: What does moderation imply? I can understand if a general relay wants to keep a "neutral carrier" position as much as possible, after all, a moderation decision on one thing, directly implies a moderation (non)decision on all the other content on the relay.

To give @Øistein some insight into Nostr, and what is possible, i copied his earthtreemedia.com site here: https://npub143ac528xxw9gtftammcf9dn7yhpcdy6k36824u85009wkwsx45cq57ev6h.nsite.lol/ Everything on the site is actually Nostr-events/publications (except for most of the videos, those are still on vimeo because this is just a demo, i copied three videos to blossom). It uses a pretend/fake/mock keypair @Øistein · Earthtree Media . PS: Øistein, if you look at that Earthtree Media profile on Nostr with a Nostr app, you will notice that all the content can be viewed inside the Nostr app as well. This is because its all just publications, and the website, your nostr-app, or any other nostr-app can fetch those publications (wherever they may exist at the time), and show/present them in whatever manner is useful for a particular context. I recommend you use the app "yakihonne" instead of Primal, but hopefully Primal gets the point across as well.

Hello Nostr, meet @Øistein . He is a Norwegian cartoonist and an arts & crafts multi-media creator geared towards the little ones at

TV-shows, books, theater shows, the lot. I met him at #OFF, has a great energy and dislikes the big platforms for all the reasons you would expect from a content creator. He wants to create an education environment My hope is that we can leverage Nostr to make things better for him and the many other creators better as well as their audiences.

Getting people on to nostr is simple and easy. You just have to gaslight them by repeating it is 'simple' and 'easy' over and over and over again: IT IS THAT SIMPLE AND EASY PEOPLE
