I’m rolling around a metaphor in my mind for legacy social media platforms vs #nostr clients - let me know if it makes sense:
If legacy platforms are aquariums…
Then Nostr clients are glass-bottom boats…
If legacy servers are tanks…
Then Nostr relays are currents…?
Hmm 🤔 🐠 Still grappling with the best way to break this down for less techie folks. #grownostr
It’s crazy to think about, right?
Bitcoin - nodos
Nostr - relays
Así seria
Nostr is where weirdos hangout.
It’s platforms vs protocols
If traditional social media are walled gardens… then nostr is the open universe…
…do what you will, be yourself, retain your privacy… it’s that simple
It's to explain relays. But what I see managing servers for a long time and giving accounts to friends and families is that with relays they don't need me to create accounts, reset passwds anymore. And I can't delete an account if I fight with some friend or whatever.
