Hey, there is now an Anarchism public group on Nostr. Nostr is a very simple protocol which aims to become the ultimate decentralized social network, already fulfilling functionality of Twitter, Reddit (not very advanced tho), Twitch, Telegram and more. It is also uncensorable.

It is also more anarchist than the fediverse because your identity there is not bound to a server/domain which can be shut down or moderated at any time.

To join the group, you have to search for this ID: nevent1qqs05w7vklg8ewh4g7u8rafp3dsvtcw3j7v9j4v7n4k5fxxewaggjdspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuerpw3sju6rpw4esz9rhwden5te0dehhxarj9ehhsarj9ejx2assy2425

On Android the app Amethyst is very good. With Nostr, the client handles everything. The servers are just dumb relays which don’t need to be trusted. That’s why there are a lot of different clients. Each one is implementing different aspects of the protocol and they are always evolving.

If you want to have a peek at the group you can also check here: https://coracle.social/chat/note1lgaued7s0ja023acw86jrzmqchsar9uct92ea8tdgjvdja6s3ymqa579ar

There are a LOT of Nostr resources available and you can decide how deep you want to dive into it. A very basic and easy introduction is https://usenostr.org/ . The devs website nostr.com also does a good job of getting the point across. There is an awesome list which can point you to any Nostr related resources like which clients to use and also what other introductory guides are availabe: https://github.com/aljazceru/awesome-nostr

Popular clients including web, desktop and mobile are also described here: https://nostr.com/clients

Note that Nostr is very decentralized and that some clients implement features which other clients don’t (yet).

This video can also show you visually how the relationship between clients and relays/servers works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIccRIEr2gQ

    Exploding-heads is a ‘vaccine-skeptic’ lemmy instance that has been defederated from most of the Fediverse (lemmy.dbzer0.com included) due to embracing trumpism. The admin of the nazi-pub is planning to close up shop, and move to Nostr. I think that tells you most of what you need to know about the ‘censorship resistance’ of Nostr. It’s an environment where sane voices can be easily drowned out with the financially motivated professional posters selling cryptocurrency, boner pills, and Russian propaganda.

    It’s primary feature is that the login mechanism doubles as a cryptocurrency wallet, and you can use it to tip other people in bitcoin. The richest can easily broadcast their views, to the applause of thousands of sycophants, looking to follow the groupthink and collect their satoshi-scraps. It is full of grifters and gullible, and the only thing it deserves from anarchists is derision.
