    btw, congrats to BI on another immaculate totally-not-nazi dox, which has many totally-not-nazis from bitcoinland up in arms. Why, anyone who spends their time being extremely into batshit insane Nazis and writing about how they think their social network needs Nazis could be doxxed - anyone!

    Nostr (without Zaps) is a cool technology but everyone around it has very interesting ideas. I may be biased because I liked the predecessor tech, Secure Scuttlebutt before that sunk into the depths.
