Frequently Asked Questions
How does Nostr prevent account censorship?
Nostr uses cryptographic keys so users retain control over their identity. This prevents platforms from purging accounts overnight without user consent.
Why are chronological feeds better than algorithmic ones?
Chronological feeds avoid dopamine-trap algorithms designed to enrage users. They provide a sanity-saving experience that does not sell user attention to advertisers.
How does web-of-trust help with deepfakes?
Web-of-trust magic allows communities to verify identities without Big Brother oversight. This helps beat AI deepfakes through decentralized trust networks.
Historian/Nostr Wizard | Web of Trust Foundation
Wouter Constant is a historian and Nostr wizard who joined Havok & LX for an unscripted explosion on censorship-proof social media. On Space Tomatoes S2-EP4, he talked relays as personal treehouses, cryptographic keys, web-of-trust magic, Blossom for unbreakable podcast links, Lightning zaps, and building child-safe nets. He also discussed dopamine-trap algorithms, chronological feeds, and the simple truth that most of us already live like anarchists every day.
