Words are important, and the meaning of words is doubly important.
You only have to look at the UK, and the absolute state it is in, to see just what impact words can have.
The word benefit, one of its definitions being *Something that promotes or enhances well-being; an advantage*.
However, it is also defined as *A payment made by a government agency or insurance company to qualifying persons in time of need*
Which defines it as a *Help; aid*
Although for a fair chunk of the UK population it seems it is only *Something that promotes or enhances well-being; an advantage*.
This perversion of the word has been caused by the Labour governments over the years, where now it is perceived you are entitled to an advantage because you are unemployed.

This is very much a Welshman's perspective.
Nostr impact will very much be like Wales. Understated, Overlooked , under appreciated and very much an underestimated component of the new internet order. It will play a crucial role, stepping up and making difference when needed. Never yielding in it reliability.
It will be abused, manipulated and expropriated but it will always remain true to its foundational principles. The community that identifies with it, will be passionate and resilient.
Some will think it is just a protocol among many protocols, but to many it will be gods own protocol.
One of the many blessing one has of being Welsh, is that you get a real sense of how something that can be viewed as quite small can have a profound impact on the world in many ways.
Then when you take that perspective and apply it elsewhere you know things are going to work out.
Nostr may be small, and it may seem inconsequential but I know its going to have an impact
When you join the dots and take a step back and view the picture what it really is.
You will appreciate just how traitorous Starmer & Co are to the people of the UK, and just how much damage they are inflicting, but what on the surface appears to be incompetence, but if you take a closer look it is actually components of a much wider orchestrated plan.
Its worth reading the excellent Ella Rossini's [The Untold Story About W Social: Unconventional Beginnings, Strategic Pitches and Conflicting Signals](https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/) post.
The you read that Ursula fond of lying, has migrated her Bluesky accounts to W social
The corrupt conglomerate known euphemistically as the EU are engaged in an ongoing, high-stakes regulatory battle with Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). The dispute centers on the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), with regulators penalizing and investigating the platform over disinformation, illegal content, deceptive verification badges, and a lack of advertiser transparency.

The British are many, many things. Many of them great. But tolerance never has been and never will be one of them
Kier Starmer and his entire cabinet of woke socialist buffoons are trying to build a narrative that Britain is a tolerant society, which is completely false.
Don't get me wrong, I am a very proud, passionate and patriotic Welshman, and loyal British citizen. However, one thing I can say, tolerance is definitely not one of my virtues.
I love Wales and Britain and its people, but I also know, from our history that tolerance has never been at the forefront of the foundation and shaping of our great unification of nations.
I agree Kemi Badenoch, and I also have lived on 3 Continents, and have traveled to others, and I would say that UK, is the least racist country of the ones I have been too. However, it does not mean that
racism does not exist, it does, and it raises its head in many ways. There are also different issues within the UK, that historically we have never resolved. We have issues of classism, which from my experience of living in other parts of the world, is far stronger and more divisive here in the UK.
It may be true, that there is a veneer of tolerance within Britain, with its legacy of stiff upper lip and that'll do attitude, but scratch below that surface and you'll find deep warrior and rebelious nature, that when ignited it does not understand barriers or restraint.
The British people have a reputation globally as a nation of whingers, but also many prefer to hear us complaining, because the real problems arise when we become silent and it quickly replaced with cries
of "You want it, come fucking have some!"
We have a strange twist in our history, that the British, may lose many battles, but they will always win the ones that matter.
In Britain, there is a very fine line between tolerance and taking the piss. Starmer & Co have crossed that rubicon.
Personally, I really hate that trope British politicians are rolling out, that British people are tolerant.
A nation simply does not get the title of being tolerant, when that nation has actively been in war with nearly all but 2 nations across the globe.
British society as a whole, may be perceived as tolerant, but even tolerance has a limit, and tolerance can very quickly turn to rage.
In my younger days, I spent nearly 5 years working as a doorman, and various pubs, blabs, bars etc in and around London and home counties. I can tell you that on many a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night tolerance was definitely not on display.
Kier Starmer & Entire labour government just has to be the most incompetent government this country has ever seen. At the moment, they are making the Rishi Sunak Conservatives look good!
The UK news is full of Knife Attacks, MIgrant Crimes, Police Failures yet this bunch of buffoons want to try police social media and censor the internet!
We've noticed a small bug that crept into the UX/UI of Diogel - Porwr , we're working on it and it should release the fix today.
Of all the dysfunctional leaders on the global stage Kier Starmer has to be the worst
