If Diddy is found guilty it will serve as another example that those in positions of power can abuse. Diddy is a business man, he’s a media mogul and actually invested in X (I don’t blame Elon or X for that but it’s the truth.) In cases like Epstein the media and the intelligence agencies worked to keep the story quiet. Weinstein, Larry Nassar, members of the royal family, politicians, law enforcement etc, abusers come in all shapes and sizes. In some cases they are extremely powerful people. This week a CIA officer who drugged, sexually abused multiple women got a 30 year sentence. Survivors used to have to pray that a journalist would cover their story to be heard if law enforcement wouldn’t take them seriously and to an extent social media and new media changed that but there was one big problem, if they published their story online it wasn’t censorship resistant. The powerful still had the upper hand. Nostr empowers the individual and has the potential to serve some of the world’s most vulnerable. Nostr evens the playfield. 💜

Organizations and governments will talk trash on freedom tech. They focus heavily on how it will be misused. I see that but I also see the bright side. I hope that looking at it through this lens brings you as much hope as it brings to me.

Diddy, epstien, wienstien. Even cosby. Hollywood/music/politics. Power allows abuse. Everything we trust/trusted has dirty secrets of evil. I'm terrified there is no fix
Don’t underestimate survivors tho. There is a specific type of fire that survivors have and on a long enough timeline they will win. 💜
nostr cant even get rid of the reply guys / other spambots and can’t get more than 20k active users (who mostly talks about b1tc01n all day) what journalist want to post here? yet people keep comparing it to X, we still have a long way to go maam
I do agree but journalists don't necessarily have to build a following on nostr, just use it as a data storage layer to cross post the notes to other platforms. It's not ideal but as long as you run your own relay it might offer long term protection of content while the UX and relay decentralisation issues are engineered out.
i think journalists would rather be busy writing their stories than figuring out nostr technical stuff, thats where X wins; login and post
Login, post, build social capital, get account locked, get your KYC details passed to your government who then fucks you hard. Doesn't sounds like a solid option. See today's news for how this is playing out. I do t see how nostr is technical? Download primal APK and sideload = freedom to post whatever the he'll you want. image
I’d have to see clear evidence that Elon knew about Diddy before I’d play a guilty by association game. Diddy has not been found guilty nor has Elon been proven to know anything about any of that prior.

Got damn you’re lazy af. You couldn’t take a few seconds to verify if this is true or not. If you had then you’d know this isn’t true

Elon is insanely wealthy and powerful. Even regular folks knew about Diddy since the 90’s people have been saying this stuff about Diddy for a long time. I’ll admit it’s not as egregious as Trump with the Epstein stuff. There’s definitely not that kind of proof Elon was that close with Diddy.
The courts will decide all of this but frankly that wasn’t the point of the original note. The point of the note was that survivors can speak on nostr without anyone in a position of power having control over their content.
My note was directed to NowClip. He/She seems to be excusing Diddy’s investment because “anybody can invest in X.” My point was, X is a private company and investors had to be approved by X (Elon). Making the situation a bit more concerning.
Sorry, I’m cranky and should have checked where your comment was directed before responding. I’m drinking coffee now so I’ll be normal in 5 minutes 😂
Nice, but how does this prove the false statement "Anyone can invest in X"? Anyone can't invest in X, it's a private company. Only the shareholders decide who can invest in it.
For Brazilians it's either NOSTR or NOTHING, so x is useless in a whole country now, totally fragile, can be put down and totally annihilated with all its fake free speach with a single judge's signature...
I didn’t check to see who you were responding to. That happens to me frequently on nostr. My fault for not checking.
