Nostr Meaning

Nostr stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays." It is an open protocol for decentralized, censorship-resistant social networking. Unlike platforms like Twitter or Facebook, which are "Walled Gardens" controlled by a single company, Nostr is a protocol, like email.

In Nostr, a user's identity is simply a cryptographic public key. They sign messages (posts) with their private key and send them to "Relays" (simple servers).

Anyone can run a relay. Users connect to multiple relays to publish and retrieve posts.

If a relay bans you, you simply switch to another one, and your followers (who are also connected to multiple relays) will still see your content. There is no central authority to ban your account globally.

Nostr gained massive attention and adoption after receiving funding and endorsement from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, who views it as the true realization of a free speech internet.
