I'm seeing a lot of people not quite understanding what nostr is. I know it can be hard considering this is a crowd focused on products and frameworks and paradigms and what not.
It's not a "twitter alternative", it's not "federated like mastodon", it's not even social networking. It's just a spec for a signed message format and a relay server, that's it. It's very, very simple, you generate a key, sign a message, send it to whichever relays you want, it serves them to requestors or not, depending on what it wants to do. That is literally all it is.
