AHHHHH SHIT here we go again.

IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE.

Look, i don't wanna sound like I'm beating a dead horse. in most cases i do not like social media, but for me to spread foss, privacy security and my thoughts in general..i need to be present there.

With the pass of the "online child saftey act" in the UK and (the SCREEN act) is being discussed in the US. (not getting a lot of traction thank fuck.). The Gov wanting to do CBDC'S. More apps bending the knee to law enforcement to hand over sensitive meta data.

Amazon

Imagine having to KYC yourself to use a app that not respect your privacy, Let alone secure it.

It's not if, but when...

Look, I try to be optimistic, and I am generally a techno-optimistic person and I think that society has largely benefited from tech. I also think that there is good software and devs out there that have privacy and security in mind.

Okay, protocols...

Protocols are far better than platforms. Why? Because you own it, it's portable, it is censorship-resistant and, in most cases, decentralized.

Some examples of this are email. It's a protocol. You can email any service provider and, if you own your own email domain (you should), in the case where your email provider goes rough, you can transfer your email to another provider.

Protocols are not only censorship-resistant but also portable.
This is why the Fediverse is so loved. You can cross post to tons of different sites without having to set up 4–5 accounts.

NOSTR, The hidden juggernot

I'll link to what NOSTR (Notes and other stuff transmitted by relays)is if you want a full explanation Nostr

But, the TLDR is, Nostr is a protocol,

• censorship resistant
• portable (you own your media and account)
• The protocol is ownerless, the relays are not
• Anyone can host their own relay and media

This is the most important part of social media.
It was built to be for you. That was the reason YouTube, Myspace etc.
But, now all we do is swap between the same 5 apps and hand over our data, even though we keep and maintain the users that come to the platform.

YouTube has pretty much become a giant ad.
TikTok is pretty much a psyop in my eyes.

Instagram/Facebook just sucks you in, so it's impossible to exit.

The constant ID requirements. I cannot stress this enough. Getting an FB address without having to hand over your ID is a nightmare and everyone should reject this.

Nostr needs none of this to function.

Internet
username
Keyboard.

There's even a way to run a relay on your android or a separate one, and even use Bluetooth to relay your post when you're close to other users.

Best of all, you can monitor as well. Now the thing is, you will run into spam, bitcoin maxis etc. Also, if you don't run your own relay, I say there are some privacy concerns. I'd run my own relay or, at best, a trusted vpn on a dedicated profile if you're using GrapheneOS - always on!

Take back your media and your voice!
