Twitter without the Inc and the corporate servers

Although not a popular native to compare to Twitter at the moment I know ;-)

I tell them that it's a protocol instead of an apl, where people are building many apps on top of it. And it is run on many machines instead of centralized servers that belong to big tech. I usually make sure they understand the issue with the current apps. It seems many people are aware of the issues now. Soon they will all come.

Here's how I imagine your friends respond:

You lost me at proto-tall.

I may not use that word but the internet analogy is helpful.

Agreed.

#Nostr is a new form of cybersecurity that does not require passwords.

Can't be done

I don’t. No one gives a shit

You're not wrong.

Sadly

radically open interaction protocol without guardrails except those you set for yourself
