Examining Nostr, the new decentralised Twitter alternative, in more detail
After Mastodon, Nostr is an additional attempt at a decentralised social network, albeit with some significant modifications. Here is all the information you require.
Nostr is not an app. It is a lightweight, simple yet extensible open protocol that allows building truly censorship resistant and decentralized social media platforms.
💡 "Noster" means "our" in Latin. Seemingly, "Nostra" means "our" in Italian, and "Nostre" in Catalan.
