Users interested in a censorship-resistant social network based on cryptographic keys

About nostr

The open protocol that creates a censorship-resistant global "social" network is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, making it tamperproof. It does not rely on any central server or P2P techniques and is resilient as a result. Everyone runs a client, which can be a native or web version, to publish posts that are signed with their key and sent to multiple relays. Updates from other users are requested by asking multiple relays if they have any information about those users. Any individual can run a relay, which simply accepts and forwards posts without requiring trust. Verification of signatures occurs on the client side.

    "Will evolve"

    Posted 2025-03-31

    Pros: Easy to create and setup Android client OpenVibe. I like that I can choose from several clients that just implement the Nostr protocol.

    Cons: not always as easy as I would like to have it. You still need to figure out how to achieve what you want. But it grows and evolves fast.

    Overall: Glad to have it. No more being controlled by the app owner. It is great to know that only I can am in charge and no one can remove my note from the network. Looking forward to run my own node.
