Hey folks. Just wanted to put out a good word about Nostr. I’m finding it to be pleasantly easy to use and very akin to twitter but uses soft servers in the form of relays. Its not quite moving away from servers but where decentralization is happening frequently, its nice to give that liberty back to users.
Anyways its worth a try, here are some web clients. Just make sure to save your PK its basically your login:
Why would I use this instead of a Mastodon instance?
I saw that exploding-heads moved their instance to this platform so I assume it’s difficult to block objectional content.
Last I saw, exploding heads gave up on it because it was too difficult to use and had too many crypto bros on it. They’re trying to move to Gab now.
While you can’t force people not to see things they WANT to see, it would be possible for a certain relay to moderate the content it deliveres to its clients. I feel like it will become a huge feature pretty soon, since the global feed is a hot garbage already.

Wow, none of the things you mentioned makes me want to use it.
Thanks for the explanation though!
It’s definitely not for me either, but there’s quite an audience on there. I think Bluesky is stealing their thunder these days, though.
Maybe you don’t really want an account one one server but rather the whole experience. Seems good nuff for that.
