Where will we all meet

The reason censoring Nostr is difficult is that you have the option to save your messages to as many relays as you’d like, and apps will look for your friends’ messages in a bunch of relays at the same time.

The idea is to create a decentralized social protocol that is independent of apps built on it.

Read My Thread and Get to know Some Open Content Each user is assigned a public key. When a user follows someone, the user’s client fetches posts associated with that someone’s public key from the associated relay. This process is repeated on start-up, with the client querying data from all relays it knows for all users it follows. The fetched data is then displayed to the user chronologically to make up a feed.

Done Promotion now Some Good Content What is Nostr and how is it different? Nostr takes another stab at a decentralised social network after Mastodon. But unlike Mastodon where user identities are attached to servers and servers have a degree of control over registered users, Nostr is a lot more open in that regard. There are two components at play on Nostr: clients and relays. Each user runs a client, while anyone can run a relay. Clients can publish data (i.e. create posts) on any number of relays and fetch data from other relays.

After Mastodon, Nostr is being hailed as the next big alternative to Twitter. In fact, it recently got the attention of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey who donated several Bitcoins to the cause. But what exactly is it and how does it work?
