Welcome to #NOSTR, Twitter refugees.

(NOSTR = Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays)

A few definitions to help your experience.

1) Client: allows you to choose your Relays and publishes what the Relays broadcast.

2) npub: your public key and how others can find you. Any Note with your npub in tags you.

3) Relays: these broadcast Notes (and other stuff) to Clients. Relays censor and are opt-in.

4) private key: used to sign all Notes you broadcast to the network. Anyone who has access IS you as far as the network is concerned. Guard it carefully!

It definitely feels more like a grade-school playground than a peacocking contest here in #nostrville. I’m here for it.

Same here. I joined Twitter in February 2008. Even when it crashed all the time and didn’t have images and hashtags yet it was far better than today.

Did you ever text your tweets to 40404? 😆
