Building a platform is about control. Building on a protocol is about freedom.

We don't want to own the network. We just want to be a part of it.
Look, if you want privacy, you have to do the work. Governments won't grant it. Corporations won't sell it. It’s on us to code it.
Let’s get to work.
The modern web isn’t designed for the user. It’s designed for the advertiser. They track your cursor’s hesitation to predict your weakness.
You aren't the client. You are the inventory.
It is no longer about whether Bitcoin works. We are past the "if." We are now in the "how."
Privacy isn't a setting. It's an act of coordination. @Max
Build on protocols. Platforms are just landlords.
If you have to think twice before typing, you've already lost your autonomy.
Centralized platforms hide data to own the user. Tools for freedom show data to empower the user.
This is amazing. 👏 @JeffG

"Nothing to hide" is a misunderstanding of how freedom works. Privacy isn
Stop renting your privacy from corporations. Start owning it.
There is no such thing as free data storage. Someone is paying. If it's not you, who is it?
Math doesn't ask for a visa, and code shouldn't check your passport. Identity is a key you hold, not a location you live in.
We don't know who you are. That’s the best feature we have.
If an app requires your identity to function, it’s not a tool. It’s a registry.
Comfort is expensive. It costs you your freedom. The right path is rarely the easy one.
That’s why we build (on Nostr) 👏 @JeffG
