Not necessarily. Nostr keys can be used generally for asymmetric encryption and related task. The Nostr protocol is a client/server communication protocol, as well as a data format. Regardless, images aren't being hosted "on Nostr", in any sense, when nostr.build is used.

It's not "other stuff", it's stuff other than Nostr. It is as much Nostr as Google Drive is. Nostr is a protocol. Nostr.build is an image host like many, it just happens to have "Nostr" in the name. > You do realise the relays (the R in nostr) are just servers, right? They are Nostr servers. Not all servers are Nostr servers. Only those that operate through the Nostr protocol are.

Cloudflare doesn't taste good, bad comparison.

No, this is a bad take. I wasn't talking about governmental censorship. Governments (plural because there is more than one) do censor, but so can private parties. I was talking about corporate censorship. Incidentally, corporate censorship is also the problem addressed by Nostr. Nostr isn't resistant to governmental censorship, on its own, but it's resistant to corporate censorship, which is a worthwhile goal on its own. Payment processors absolutely do censor.

Nostr.build isn't Nostr, it's an HTTP cloud storage service with "nostr" in the name.

The problem is that Mastercard and Visa are imposing arbitrary restrictions, which Stripe and PayPal have to follow. In turn, Stripe and PayPal impose those restrictions on Itch. If they used cryptocurrencies, they would bypass Visa and Mastercard, as well as PayPal and Stripe, altogether. Furthermore, the current situation shows the risk of relying on payment processors. Having alternative ones is better, but it doesn't necessarily remove the risk, especially if they need to cooperate in some way.

Sorry, I was puking because of the image of Gab. Now that everyone is dumber for even just seeing the Gab logo, what is going on?

ActivityPub is not censorship resistant, nor meant to. If your account is registered to an instance and that instance censors you your account is fucked.

Itch is trying to solve the problem of payment processors effectively censoring content, but is unwilling to consider #crypto, such as #Bitcoin or #Monero for the task. Why? I usually don't talk about money, much less #cryptocurrency, but isn't it an obvious solution? Maybe leave a comment. https://itch.io/post/13520502

Were you aware that you can use Nostr without ever interacting with Primal or Damus in any way? You can even write your own client, if you wish, and use any list of relays among tens of public ones (or run your own). Centralized DNS is an issue. Some communities are working on that issue (Namecoin, ENS and many others). It's not an issue specific to Nostr. The only parties that can stop me from using Nostr are the same that can stop me from using pretty much anything else on the Internet: my government (they can arrest me), ICANN and a few other parties. There is no party whatsoever specific to Nostr that has any power of any sort on me as a Nostr user.

It really is. The admin pretending for being for freedom of speech but actually being more prone to censorship than the worst of "woke" assholes.

There are existing knowledge bases about books, such as the Open Library of the Internet Archive, Wikidata (which is about pretty much anything) and more. Anything on Nostr should reference semi-structured data elsewhere. Use machine-readable references.

And it's not censorship resistance. You still have a single point of failure.

> pair number Dude, do you even English? That's a very maccheronic thing to say.

If a post contains an HTTPS link to an image hosted on Nostr.build and the admins at Nostr.build nuke the file, or a government nukes them, or their DNS provider nukes them, or the government nukes their DNS provider, that post now has a broken HTTPS link which links to nothing whatsoever. That is the same level of censorship resistance that Google Drive has.

It's only permissionless when it comes to companies. Governments can deny you permissions to do things by shooting you dead if they so decide. I agree the sense of superiority is partially false, when it come to resistance towards governments. But, again, taking power away from the hands of companies is already a worthwhile goal.

Nice!

Did the kid enjoy the massive amount of torture, dictatorship, horrifying shit of all sorts, dark magic, murder and moral corruption of everyone including the protagonist? (I like Harry Potter, to be clear. I haven't read the books because I am illiterate, though).
