It's an oxymoron alright. We're here for the decentralization and you guys keep shilling your centralized database.

Distributed is not decentralized, and Nostr should teach you the difference.

Every resilient centralized database in the world, from Twitter to Bitcoin, is distributed across thousands of nodes.

What makes a data layer 'centralized' like Twitter is that those nodes always try to sync up to the same authoritative global state.

What makes Nostr 'decentralized' is that there is no conception of nodes syncing up to make multiple clones of the same exact data.
