The degradation of the protocol experience: I write this text out of my feelings of more and more negativity being driven into my timeline. I'm a Nostrich since almost day one, so I remember how it was in the early days. The feeling of wonder and beauty in creating and shipping something entirely new, a new way to share thoughts and experiences with the world. Not for fame, money, or to play the algorithm, but just for the sake of sharing it with a small community, no matter what the content was about. It could be everything, but what it turned out to be is what caught me. All it could have been, but it was beauty, friendliness, and love. The early adopters chose kindness and happiness, pura vida it was, good morning notes every day and night. No picture uploads yet, zaps started to be integrated, first as long-form invoices found between technical developer talk, then and there a GM note by a fren. Not much content and not many users, but it was an atmosphere of pioneering, building something new, something unstoppable with organic growth. Building and shipping not for profit, but to give freely based on community funding. What it served, I remember when Damus was shipped first to the Chinese market, hundreds joined instantly and appreciated it, in many cases probably for the first time, a way to freely speak against what we can with certainty call the most evil and dystopian totalitarian dictatorship on the planet. It made it possible for individuals to freely speak and organize, and they took the small chance which we gave them. Of course, this was the nightmare scenario for the totalitarian dictatorship and the app was removed as fast as they got wind of its existence. I loved to see messages from my Chinese "nostriches," the feeling we give them a spark of hope from the outside world. Every morning I woke up and looked to post a GM PV to my fellow Nostrichs as soon as I could. It brought me joy to get one back from around the world. No matter where it came from, it brightened my day to know this GM note was unstoppable. No communist party, no little dictator, or no technocrat could censor this note. Talk was very technical; sometimes the experience was a bit whack, but in between these understandable struggles, you found these GM notes of hope and freedom. Now, years later, the community grew with new clients popping up daily, and with it, the community experience. But what grinds my gears is the overt politicization of the feed. Thankfully, there is no algorithm pushing more and more of it down our throats, but just single individuals who seem lost and seem to have lost the plot. Let me be clear, I am absolutely in favor of everyone sharing their opinions, no matter what they are, from Holocaust denial to praising Kim Jong-un, but be ready to defend your position. With the special military operation and the clipping of the Ayatollah, some of the people showed their true colors, praising dictatorships or outright radical islamist theocracies just for the sake of beeing against the evil west. The evil West, which allows you to say and write those words in the first place. Let me tell you, I have no doubt that in the West, freedom of speech is being tested more day by day, but until now you are free. You are free to post and criticize every regime in most Western countries. We see a degradation of freedom of speech mostly driven by Marxist politicians and intellectuals who smell their own rise to power, their own little totalitarian party becoming a communist dream come to reality. But exactly because of this rise, we see Nostr shine more than ever. And for this realization, it hurts me to see people on this protocol, self-called freedom lovers, praise the most evil totalitarian regimes. Outright posting communist propaganda to a decentralized protocol, you may not realize it, but you are in the wrong place here. You should move to a state-controlled social media app like MAX in Russia, or Veimo/WeChat in China, where your all-so-loved little dictators can give final approval to every regime-loving text you publish. You won't get the backlash and counterarguments as you do here because it is simply not allowed—exactly what you are looking for. For my final words in this small note, I want to leave it with what it all began: PV and GM. image
