In my view, Monero is only one piece of the equation to digital freedom. You need the rest of the “encryption as identity” tech stack:

Monero is to Money, What Session is to Telegram, And Nostr is to Twitter.

Censorship on Twitter has given rise to this decentralized micro-blogging alternative that uses encryption as identity for unstoppable free speech.

I narrated this brand new animated video which goes over how Nostr works and why it matters: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/nostr/

Nostr is right now dominated by Bitcoin Maxis, we’re organizing a Monero takeover. DM us on Nostr: npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6

    Mastodon already replaced twitter, it has much more users than nostr, what is the point?

        not at all, just do not understand what nostr does that mastodon does not

        it is like promoting zcash or epic cash, pointless

          The video covers why Nostr is better than Mastedon. Mastedon makes you reliant on a federated admin who can ban you. And federation relies upon DNS and IP addresses for identity, as opposed to encryption as identity.

            Overkill IMO, if you join a freedom oriented instance you will be fine unless you are a real ass. You can also run your own instance.

            Fedi is the way to go as everyone can talk to each other. They already bridge over in some capacity anyway.

            Rather not be tied to some BTC maxi protocol, next thing you know they will limit the number of users to 100 and cap post size to 10KB.
