Welcome Ian, and new people that followed you to Nostr. Hopefully this series of short quirky videos will make some things click, especially some of the nuances around censorship. This is the mission: The core notion of censorship resistance, i.e. retaining your following: View quoted note โ†’ Breaking free from the silos, and having everything tied to your unique name: View quoted note โ†’ Nostr is pro-censorship, and that is a good thing: View quoted note โ†’ And all of this allows for a whole new web, if, we manage to build it correctly: View quoted note โ†’
hold up there buddy, you are wrong. The internet already was censorship resistant, correct, but the issue is marginalization due to a nuked social graph. Nostr fixes this because for the most part the thing you are ''trying again'' is getting the data hosted, you don't have to '''try again'' to (re-)build your audience and to the extend you do it your starting position is way better; in first instance because your audience does not have to switch apps and in second instance because outbox (of which implementation lacks severely at this moment in time). View quoted note โ†’ The same logic is why we bother with Blossom, because it gives us a fighting chance of healing links, instead of re-uploading and creating a whole different link. As for ''Nostr cannot scale for the same reason Bitcoin can't - only much, much worse. For Nostr to work in a censorship-resistant way, everyone has to have a copy of all the data of all the users.'' I frankly don't even understand how you reach such conclusions, it is puzzling and gives me a headache.... It just seems the whole paradigm of things being event-centric and servers being trivialized (in regards to what server) due to tamperproofing is just completely lost on you...wait....is that why you are interested in Pubky, you simply dont get Nostr?
