If there’s room on it, I guess @Peter Todd should get promoted to the “we are all Satoshi” meme with “not you” over Craig Wright.

Musk and X ended up bending the knee on censorship in Brazil, also giving them their requested $5 million. Probably partially explains the dropping count of active users here on Nostr.
