If nostr is dead because there's not enough engagement or whatever metrics people seem to care about, so be it. I'd rather bathe in the decaying remains of nostr before going back to ad-infested, algorithm controlled, surveillance laden, soon to be digital ID requiring, normie-infested safe space censorship platforms. I'll keep on submitting notes into the void until the last relay breaks down. Hope you're with me. Love you all.

This week my Facebook profile was blocked again for a generic reason. The message said my profile had "suspicious activity" and they didn't give me any other explanation. I tried contacting support to understand what had happened and they didn't even respond. It wasn't the first time this happened but it will be the last, never again Facebook, from now on I only use NOSTR.
I was one of the first two political bans on Twitter. Despite some people being unbanned, I am informed by people close to Twitter that I am on a list of people not allowed to use the Internet, and permanently barred from the service. I will not be getting unbanned. If you use centralized social media, as far as I am concerned, it is no different than snitching. You are encouraging your friends to use a platform that is inherently controllable by the state and actively moderated by multiple state and ethnic authorities. Those who have done time or know targets of law enforcement will be familiar with the concept of β€œdry snitching” β€” essentially, putting information that you know law enforcement will be interested in within public view or some sort of side channel, in hopes that you will be spared interrogation. Using centralized services is dry snitching. It’s controlled, it’s moderated, and those who use it at this point should be called rats that cede control of the social graph to every form of wicked undesirable imaginable. Yids, sodomites, trannies, filipinos, lawyers, hybernians β€” all of them can have you and everyone you know silenced and surveilled on Twitter and Facecrook. At this point, people are willfully enabling this, and I operate by prison rules. If you sit at the snitch table, you should be assumed to be a snitch yourself. 1 follower on Nostr is more precious than a million on ZOG platforms to me.
We can acknowledge differences between platforms from a non purely ideological point of view. Some people want more than to post into the void. They want engagement, even down to the tiniest of niches. And maybe that’s just a numbers game and we aren’t there yet. But it’s also a bit of a catch 22. You need numbers to gain numbers.
I think the reason nostr is quieter than usual was because last week all the warmongering fake bitcoiners started attacking everyone that's anti war. Just seeing all that hate, and all the people making excuses to support Trump knowing he is a pedophile. It drove quiet a few newer people away. A lot of the larger accounts on here getting muted for being war mongers as well. So just overall less interaction, people putting themselves into echo chambers or leaving when they get attacked by mobs of war mongers
