Still can't log in to Facebook, even with a VPN. #Dystopia in #Bangladesh continues as the government shuts down #freespeech as permanently as possible. The regime has turned totalitarian. We're going dark and doomed this time if you don't speak up.

After a complete INTERNET SHUTDOWN of a little more than in 6 days under Hasina regime in Bangladesh, we are slowly returning back into an apparently normal internet connectivities. WE ARE STILL FACING CURFEWS with 200 people killed by the state forces.

I have not yet found words to express how it feels— experiencing first, the total darkness of the shutdown, and then, the process of getting back to this dystopic normalcy.

Applied to join the Ditto Creator Incubator. I dream to run a community+app named Bangladesh.Social to fight 15 years long totalitarian regime there. Bangladesh deserves long overdue social transformation through a free social media and freedom money. Hope ditto.pub helps me.

This is Scarlett. Does she look like a German Shepherd? She is actually a Bengal-German crossbred.

Good day, #Nostriches! 💛

Colloquially, we call it "grass flower" in #Bangladesh. What do you call it?

Awesome crow click from Bangladesh. A melancholy crow getting wet during a dizzling.

Though I was born in 1968, roya ୨୧ basically speaks my mind.

I joined #Facebook in 2008. Never stayed there without breaks. In a growing totalitarian state like #Bangladesh, speaking openly on Facebook is risky and radical. So I stayed there though with frequent breaks. But Facebook is a shameless self promotion bazaar, a naked space without any privacy. So it's now one and a half years I couldn't login to Facebook again.

I joined #Diaspora. It was too scanty and scattered. And a little dull. I felt alone. I didn't have proper vision to interact in an international space actually. It gave some light to me which I still carry but ultimately I lost my interest there.

I joined #Minds in its very early days. Had interacted with Bill Ottman about how to improve some of their group features. But I felt almost the same there as I felt at Diaspora.

I joined #Twitter for #Assange. It's him who brought me to various manifestoes of the liberation of the internet in general, to Timothy May, crypto-anarcy, J.P. Barlow, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and ultimately to Edward Snowden.
I was mostly silently following the liberation frontiers of cyberspace and the US politics. I was fascinated, though critically, to #Elon Musk for his freedom rhetoric, and enjoyed the #TwitterFiles. But after all those blue-check verification metamorphosis of Twitter I was feeling uncomfortable with it. I felt like a third class citizen in Elon's Town Square. So, as soon as I came to know of #Nostr from a tweet of jack, I joined here in December 2022. Here I follow Snowden and Jack and so many others. I learn a lot. Subtle threats of censorship does not disturb me. I've now virtually left Twitter.

In the mean time, I joined #Fediverse via #Mastodon. Explored Fediverse a lot. Joined here and there. Had some interaction with some left wing anarchists there. Then one of posts got censored. I left it.

In my childhood, adolescence and youth I was a #Bolshevik. I left the Communist Party when I was 30. Then I was hugely attracted by Bakunin and turned to be a left wing #Anarchy man but could never become an #Anarchist as such. After 'meeting' Assange, you know, virtually, in 2010 I became an explorer of #Cipherpunks and Crypto-Anarchy.

Since 1998, I have travelled around the universes of Sufi, Osho, Tao, and Zen, and others.

Now I'm a human without labels. I go by my passions and instincts. No ideology, no good-bad dichotomous binaries. Just a freeman, I live in present moment. What else can contain a human like me except #Nostr?

At last, I've found a home of my mind.

Thanks #Nostr.

#Bangladesh is being reported on #Nostr. Very fascinating. Connecting #Mastodon with #Nostr seems to be a huge thing.

Thanks to Alex Gleason and the #OpensSat grants by jack et al.

Monsoon arrives in Bangladesh. It's raining all day long. Rain in the frontyard of my university residence.
