What is it

A bunch of semi-connected bunches of semi-connected nodes.

Not sure yet

But definitely not a network

Someone called T_itter an "information network," and I thought of Nostr as the same, but why do you say it is not a network?

In the literal sense.

Just like “society” is an illusion that represents a collection of individuals.

Ok. Would you say that T_itter is a network, though?

I would just call it a cesspool

Probably not a network since it’s a single node

You’ve made me think. 🧡

It’s a protocol, much like bitcoin

What kind of protocol?

Some people told me it was a pro too cool and I tend to agree with them.

Noatr is a murmuration.

A swarm?

GM

It is and will be whatever we want.

How is it a network?

Network of relays connected to each other?

They are not connected to each other though

Oh, they're only connected to clients. Then it's hard to interpret Nostr as a any kind of network 🤔

Same as http. Not per se but without it it would be not possible for the network to operate.

is a protocol ?

Yeah, that for sure

So how to improve from there? I mean is a p2p magic thingy protocol?

To paraphrase the wise #[4]​

Nostr is not p2p; that’s why it works

Why not ? is like pinball but with relays ? Dunno if i am being clear -.-

Its like a new planet without heavy-controlled governance but with a fundamental way of how it operates, and we can build anything on it 💜

Good morning ☀️

Have a wonderful day!

But there is a network that has formed around the protocol.
