Exactly. The relays store the data and clients fetch it from them and figure out how to display it.
Some clients will show you the full event info.

Can i repeat my follow up question?
So this reply/note is Event Kind 1?And #Nostr and its clients can trace the identify whoever created these notes or Event Kinds?
Yup, kind 1.
Along with the content of the reply, the event includes your pubkey and a few other pieces of info (what note ID you're replying to, which relays to send to, proof you signed the note with your private key, etc).
This is what your note looks like. It's a little busy, but "p" means pubkey, and "e" means event ID:

Also, Events are to #Nostr?
Status are to #Twitter?
Feeds are to #Facebook?
Is this how they term/encode them?
Oh my good God!
Am i getting it right?Does this mean i had been creating events or statuses on #Nostr/Twitter & other social media platforms unknowingly?
And these codes that you shown resembles a lot like a Bitcoin Threads or Transactions?
Am i not over-analyzing....
i prefer to be called crazy than right as of now..
Which will make me feel happy eitherway..
Well, all of this is nostr-only. Nothing gets communicated to Twitter or Facebook. I couldn't really tell you how things look on Twitter or Facebook, but the idea is probably the same in that you're sending similar info (and probably a lot more).
This is just the raw data. Everything you do on internet will be transmitting some sort of data like this. The good thing about nostr is that it's transparent and you can see what info is being passed around 🙂
Hi, are you still there?Can i ask some few related questions?
These Notes can also be in a form of Images and Videos?
Sure ask away!
I don't think they can directly store videos or images, but you can paste a link to one in your note and some clients will display them directly in the app.
Does #Nostr or any of their clients have the ability to censor/block/limit my notes?
Any client or relay could censor you, but it's unlikely every single one of them would. Even if that did happen, relays and most apps are open-source so you can run your own relay that keeps your notes, and others can connect to your relay to read them. Likewise you can run the clients on your own computer and make edits to the code if needed.
I don't think there is a limit hard-coded anywhere, but most relays will impose a maximum note size (i.e. 1MB of text) and/or ban someone who is posting a new note every second (thinking that it might be spam).
Does this mean each time i reply,react,heart,like or make notes,i create these algorithms and is that what they're called?
And also,does everyone able to create such thing?
That depends on who the information is going to. It's probably happening on Twitter and Facebook. Somebody could do the same for a nostr client, but you can always use a different one if you don't like that.
