What you think about the protocol and it's future? Currently it's mostly inhabited by BTC fans but the idea itself seems much better than what Mastodon/Lemmy is doing

Censorship resistance means shit all if you’re signing everything you write with your IP address.

As opposed to my unpaid lemmy server admin learning about how his/her life is going to be shit if they don’t cooperate with gov agents.

Same result, but notice the extra step with lemmy?

There are no clients approaching nostr from a privacy respecting perspective. All the advice is “just run it on TAILS bro”.

When a client comes out that can bind to a VPN, or only send traffic to an onion address, then I’ll be interested.
