"The term pleb is slang that is used to describe an unsophisticated person. It is derived from the word “plebeian,” which refers to a commoner of low socioeconomic status."
A newbie can be a pleb; plebs are ordinary people who Nostr. I do not know how the name came about.
The other questions must be answered by another pleb than I…
This is helpful…

Yes. But how did it get such wide use on Nostr? Is there an origin story that anyone knows of?
We'll have to find that out from someone else. I wasn't around and I've never seen it posted by anyone since I've been here.
Maybe in this case it means "low techie understanding" status? And nothing to be ashamed of?
