A simple, open protocol that enables truly censorship-resistant and globally decentralized publishing using cryptographic keys and relays instead of servers.
Why choose Nostr?
- Extremely censorship resistant; no central servers to ban you
- Your identity is a private key, providing ultimate portability
- Fast growing developer ecosystem with many different clients
Things to consider
- Can be confusing for non-technical users to grasp relays and keys
- Lacks the massive existing user base of ActivityPub/Mastodon
