The first introductory info page on Nostr that tries to explain Nostr to someone who has not heard a single thing about it should not mention JSON, TCP/IP, HTTP, `Event` or even the word protocol.
The three most basic questions that need answering are:
Is Nostr an app?
Who controls this?
How do I create an account?
Here's my attempt to answer these questions:
Nostr is multiple apps and platforms that interoperate together. There are Twitter-like apps, Reddit-like apps and there will be any kind of app you can imagine.
The developer team of each individual Nostr app controls that specific app. You can take control of the content you create but if you choose not to, the data is stored on someone else's devices. Often volunteers who want Nostr to grow and succeed in creating a better internet that is not controlled by a few big corporations. You can be blocked by individual users but you cannot get deplatformed from Nostr. Ever.
Each Nostr app has a way to create a Nostr identity. Once you have created one, you can copy your secret key that was created for you to a login on a different Nostr app. You can modify your profile name of your Nostr identity on any profile page on any Nostr app. Creating a Nostr identity doesn't require you to provide any personal information and you won't be required to do so ever in the future.

This is very important because there are many Brazilians coming here since the dictator judge banned the X
