I wouldn’t try to put nostr in a box or compare it to twitter. Twitter is a client app that connects to a Twitter server.

Nostr is a protocol

Your just using an app and relays to communicate using nostr.

This May be a bad analogy, but here goes…

If a web server is a relay then the browser is Damus (or Iris, Amethyst etc…) And that would make nostr HTTPS.

If someone has a better description, please step in. 😊

And it will really depend on us users how we feed it?

Yes, and there is so much development within the open market that you get to choose the diet.

You’ll see bots - useful ones, annoying ones, and you may choose to block one until you need it.

Hopefully you’ll see a decentralized GitHub, and Habla exists now for publishing.

Back in the 90’s when I was first on the internet, this was the promise we saw. 30 years later we’re finally arriving back to the initial vision.

Back then we were also fighting in the US for privacy. They didn’t want to allow 56bit encryption outside the US. Demanding key escrow. They’re at it again. Trying to take privacy and RESTRICT our access.
