some projects/ideas i found in the last couple of years, that try to solve our current problem of the internet being a centralized structure that is controllable by big corporations or governments and not so easily usable with mesh technology or when not being connected for long amounts of time

      the problem i see with nostr is that it implements a bunch of pro-cryptocurrency ideas: like paying to use relays for example and with all the sustainability issues regarding crypto and us wanting to create a better network, i would like to leave money out of it

      I’ve heard they tend to harbor a lot of alt-right types. Possibly because users can’t really get banned. Is that true?

      Associating with crypto-fraud is a hard no for many users (I am referring to Nostro which was developed by a crypto-bro).
