One of the beautiful parts of pre-platform internet was the thrill of the hunt, and payoff, of finding deep-buried files, obscure esoteric texts, and just generally weird Easter eggs everywhere Wandering into some super niche forum, and digging into some sub-niche of that, and stumbling into a years-long bitter flame war between two insane brilliant pseudonymous subject matter experts One time when I was like thirteen I downloaded a bootleg remix of a Biggie Smalls track on Kazaa, lost it, and was NEVER able to find it again I miss that internet

Why’s interesting is that previous ‘pro free-speech’ platforms (Gab, Parler etc) were completely captured by people who just went there to say the naughty stuff that got you banned on Twitter AND then ironically couldn’t even support free speech due being centrally owned and controlled Nostr on the other hand is both an *actual* protocol for free speech, *and* has managed to avoid being culturally dominated by people who want to exploit that freedom performatively. At least, so far.
