Pretty awesome! Twitter, meh... mastodon, less meh, but still meh... Nostr... the start of something really ground breaking. Social Media has always being plagued with content moderation. They all claim they are not editors but in the end most of their workforce is dedicated towards editorial stuff. That can be good with Curation, but it can be horrible in all shades of censorship. Creators become hostages: "how long the platform ban me or my content?". Nostr puts the control back into the creator's hands. Creator owns the keys and the relays simply propagate and store content for clients to consume. Nostr is evolving real quick! a couple months ago there were only very rough clients and the protocol was also raw. But it keeps evolving at such a fast pace! Now we have multiple clients to choose from, easy relays to set up and much more.

Good to hear you are already gaining some traction! Congratulations on the launch. When you mention that creators own the key, what do they control in Nostr?

The beauty of the protocol is that other high-level protocols like ATproto can be used on top of this one.

@chrismessina Yes, nostr is incredibly simple, which is why it is powerful. The message body can be an arbitrary string. So any application-level protocol can put its events in there and use the relays to sync between indexers. 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for social networking tech!

To evaluate this best is not to just read about the protocol but to try one of the clients on damus.io if you are in the Mac ecosystem.
