#nostr in a nutshell:

No central control, no censorship, no shadow banning, many clients competing to produce the best experience (much more difficult to create problematic network effects).

And maybe most importantly: no attention economy business model. When there is noone paying for engagement, there is no perverted incentive to create an algorithm that maximizes porn and outrage content.

Instead people are paying for great content directly, value 4 value!
