there is no consensus layer on nostr, as such, there is no "nostr network"

if you squint your eyes, nostr looks exactly the same as the lightning network

* no consensus

* no network

* interoperability is optional

* specs don't need to be fully supported by all participants

Yes 💯 There is no “THE nostr network” just like there is no “THE lightning network” just like there is no “THE internet.” There many participants forming smaller and larger networks of their own around various protocols, which all are able to be interoperable insofar as they adhere to common standards that enable and maintain that interoperability.

100%

if there's no global consensus the "network" is just loosely connected nodes that might share some common languages/protocols

labeling things "networks" is simply a construct humans project on systems because it makes it easier to understand them
