The more i'm learning about nostr, the more i'm loving it!
I’ve been studying relays on Nostr, to understand how they work, how they store data, how they create decentralization.
This is an interesting concept that helps understand: https://relayable.org/.
They are public read relays, that choose who they allow write privileges. Thus, data is only backed up to their relays for users that they opt to allow in.
Anyone can create a relay so I’ll create my own private relay, for me to backup my data, while also remaining connected to other public relays.
I’ll share more as I learn.

Me too. I just wish everyone would simply migrate from Twitter overnight.
Providing "ramps" in some sort would help. Like a Cardano group & relays with a tutorial for Twitter users on what to do to migrate to nostr. Or a list of relays to eliminate shitposts.
I think with time, people will eventually realize the value of their eye balls. Centralized entities like Twitter and Facebook, etc... incentivize advertisers to take advantage of eye balls. When nostr enpowres eye balls.
Twitter falsly promiss "free speech" when speech is inherently free on nostr.
With good content, zaps go directly to your wallet. Imagine all the youtube/twitter/facebook tutorials on how to stake for example. The same content on nostr would yield a lot more to content creators if/when eye balls are on nostr.
Plenty to think about. Its exciting :-)
Feels like Cardano back in 2017!
