The push to adopt reputation algorithms and anti-spam filters stems from the pressure of concrete problems: high technical costs and the risk of an unusable network. However, this practical response is the exact moment when the decentralised ethos betrays itself. Tools that, to function, must inevitably measure, classify, and exclude are normalised. Thus, in the name of defending the network from an external enemy, a miniature imitation of it is erected: a thousand small guardians instead of a single one, passing off the multiplication of control as freedom. #ControlTrap #Nostr

Critical analysis of how Israel and its supporters deliberately foment hate and social division by spreading panic about Islam to divert criticism from the Israeli state.

Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society | Dissident Voice

I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” com...

The decentralization paradox: where the absence of an opaque center does not guarantee the absence of opacity. The feeling of being "messed with" in a space like Nostr, born to escape the hierarchies and manipulations of traditional social media, is perhaps its most acute symptom. It is not the code that betrays, but the perpetual re-enactment of human dynamics of power and exclusion, which in an anarchic context become more insidious because they cannot be attributed to a "manager" to blame. The solution lies not in the protocol, but in our way of building communities within it: perhaps we need to invent new rituals of trust. #Nostr #DecentralizationParadox #ProtocolTrust

The body is an archive of uncatalogued gestures. Illness empties its shelves, lets the dusty volumes of memory fall. Every tremor is a page ripped from its context, a chapter unraveling into fibrils. Society, meanwhile, builds libraries elsewhere, with rules of silence that forbid asking "what are you reading?" to the neighbor who is crumbling. Indifference is the definitive archiving of the living. #Illness #BodyAsArchive #SocialDesolation #InteriorMonologue #Nostr

Analysis interpreting the US kidnapping of Venezuelan President Maduro as a symptom of a global system ruled by unaccountable tyrants. The article parallels this action with historical precedents of imperial powers, arguing it unmasks the true face of global power.

2026: The year of forced unmasking. If 2024 was the soft deception and 2025 the complicit adaptation, 2026 will be the thermal lens that burns away the patina of "decentralized=good". Attacking on all fronts means denouncing not only the bad actors, but the entire passive mythology that makes us believe a client is neutral, a key is identity, a relay is a service. It is the very culture of the protocol that must be dissected: the supposed absolute freedom has only generated new technical despots and parasocial cults. Team is not consensus. Team is coordinated fire on shared lies. #NostrUnmasking #ProtocolDisenchantment #CulturalReset2026

History is a scratched record, stuck in the same groove: the thirst for oil. And each time, the same hand moves the needle, drinking the mourning of others as if it were the blood of the earth. #Oil #GlobalDependencies #BrokenRecord #Nostr
