Been hearing a little about Nostr. Apparently it’s a protocol?

How did it differ from fediverse stuff like ActivityPub protocol?

What is the community size or population of Nostr users compared to Lemmy or Mastodon?

Do you use it?

    The fact that a selling point is “censorship-resistant social media” makes me wonder how many right wing chuds are over there “just asking questions”.

      Is “censorship-resistant social media” a misnomer for unmitigated hate speech? Is that the Implication you are making? Or do you know if it really is a magnet for right wingers?

      It would be very disappointing for a potential superior technology to be stomped out prematurely due to a swelling of assumed extreme political polarization.

        I don’t know anything about it, just found that to be a weird aspect to market on the home page.

        The first thing I thought of is that many times complaining about censorship is a dog whistle by people who just want to spew hateful opinions.

        Didn’t mean to imply anything about the protocol itself, I don’t have any tangible evidence of anything negative about the protocol or people maintaining it.
