if you use nostr as a "bulletin board", wouldn't they make the argument that the relay operators are coordinators?
They can make any argument they like but good luck shutting down every nostr relay e.g. in Jamaica, Russia, and Cuba. Also, this argument would imply that every text forum is a money transmitter. Good luck getting a court to agree.
Are there any other ways you could run a "bulletin board" without the semi-centralization of relays?
Yes, you could post the messages in a group chat on Twitter, Telegram, Signal, IRC, Session, Simplex, Tor, or literally any other place where it's possible to (1) send a message and (2) read other people's messages
You could probably even find a government website where you can do that
The only way they can stop this service is by taking down the entire internet
But can't you do that already with a coordinator behind tor?
Yes, you can find a "regular" coinjoin coordinator that's running behind tor and hope whoever is running it continues to successfully hide from the government
You could probably even find a government website where you can do that
Great work as always! But if you use nostr as a "bulletin board", wouldn't they make the argument that the relay operators are coordinators? Are there any other ways you could run a "bulletin board" without the semi-centralization of relays?
