Im creating this thread to discuss all things about Nostr and learn from your thoughts. Which your experiences using Nostr and things you like and dont like about it.

I want to try other things that are similar to Twitter, and Nostr seems like a very plausible choice. It seems, however, that there are some things that I might not like. For example, if my password get compromised, is there a way for my account to not be completely wiped out? Leave your experiences while using Nostr.

A little introduction about Nostr

spoiler

Nostr is a decentralized network protocol for a distributed social networking system. The name is an acronym for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays".

The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network.. The first known implementation of the Nostr protocol dates back to Nov 7 2020, created by a developer known as fiatjaf.

The explicit goal of Nostr creators was to create a censorship resistant social network in response to global increase in internet censorship in 2020. The simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network once and for all.

You should only see who you follow. For example I put zero on Nostr about crypto. My interests are general tech.

My interests are being gay and TV shows about middle aged women.
