There are many open source wiki softwares: zim, dokuwiki, etc.

Nostr is an open protocol. Plenty of questionable people have contributed to Linux, I still use the OS. Tor was made by an alleged rapist. I still use Tor. Open protocols are sometimes used or made by nasty people. Lemmy and email are "censorship proof", they are both good protocols. Lemmy used to be 100% annoying tankies, but as it grew so did the diversity of the userbase. Nostr is going through the same thing.

You choose who you follow, so you choose who ends up in your feed. For the "public square" areas (trending tweets etc), relays set their own moderation policies just like lemmy, that feature is identical. Find a relay that suits your moderation preferences. Most nostr apps can automatically filter out anything related to crypto/nsfw/politics/other less popular topics and prompt you to do so. If something slips through you can easily click ban and move on.

Tips are a cool functionality. On one social network, content creators don't have an opportunity to get paid for the content they post. On the other they do. Which one do you think will attract the most content creators? My bet is on the second. I like being able to send tips to people who write good posts. But it's an optional feature, you don't have to use it.

It's done off-chain because on-chain would be expensive and slow. On-chain takes 10 min and $1.50-$15 in fees depending on the day. Lightning takes < 1 second for < 1 penny in fees.

Lightning transactions are secured by the base chain, so you're not at risk of losing any funds. The transaction data is "off-chain" because there's no reason for it to be "on-chain".

As somebody who:

  • Uses nostr (and prefers it)
  • Uses AP via Lemmy & Mastodon (and likes it)
  • Knows what AP and Nostr are and how they work and the pros/cons of the two network designs are

I also found this site confusing AF. It sounds cool and interesting, probably? I can't tell lol. Is it a network bridge operating at the level of a relay? Is it an app you can use to connect and post/read to/from both networks at once? What the hell is it?

Is there a system that can get information to someone, maintaining anonymity for the sender the whole way through? Like having an open drop box where you’d be able to put whatever documents you want into it.

Yes many journalistic organizations have secure drop-boxes for this purpose. You have to either trust that their drop-box doesn't record your IP address/other info OR use an anonymity system like Tor or I2P to make sure whatever they record doesn't reveal your identity.

Banning porn nationwide is part of Project 2025's plan. defeatproject2025.org

They want to ban porn in the entire country, it's all a part of #project2025. They also want to ban abortions. And being gay in public. And completely break the separation of church and state. Don't sit this election out. https://defeatproject2025.org/

Many of the BOINC projects these days don't have screensavers unfortunately. But World Community Grid and Rosetta@home have decent ones.
