Welcome to nostr, new nostriches!
The nostr protocol and decentralization are the future of social communication.
The current state of social communication is dominated by a handful of large, centralized platforms. These platforms have a great deal of power over the way we communicate and interact with each other. They can decide what content is allowed on their platforms, and they can even censor or ban users at will.
Protocols. Not platforms. 🤝
This centralization of power has led to a number of problems:
Privacy concerns: Centralized social media platforms collect a vast amount of data about their users. This data can be used to track users' activities, target them with advertising, and even influence their behavior.
Censorship: Centralized social media platforms often censor content that they deem to be controversial or offensive. This has led to accusations of bias and suppression of free speech.
Security risks: Centralized social media platforms are a major target for cyber-attacks. These attacks can result in the theft of user data and even the disruption of service itself.
A decentralized social communication protocol offers a solution to these problems. Decentralized social communication is not controlled by a single entity. Instead, bits and pieces of the protocol are spread across the Internet, ran by independent server operators and independent developers. This makes open protocols like nostr much more difficult for anyone to censor, control the content, or take it down.
Freedom will win. We just have to build it.
Thank you for joining us. 💜
This is why we use nostr. This is why we are excited for nostr's future.
