Public-key cryptography
Nostr uses public-key cyrptography. Users can easily verify the data you sent is yours and has not been altered. You can also encrypt messages to send privately.
Relays
Data is shared between users via relays. Users can choose which relays to use and can run their own. No single entity, corporation or government can control the flow of information.

Nostr is a protocol, and uses shared standards called NIPs, which allow different apps to share data seamlessly. Nostr is permissionless so ANYONE can create an application.

"So I just decided to delete my account on Bluesky, and really focus on Nostr, and funding that to the best of my ability. I asked to get off the board as well, because I just don't think a protocol needs a board or wants a board..."
