    the fact that nostr is very tightly integrated with bitcoin, to the point that the lightning network extension basically is part of the standard.

    I mean, re-reading, I guess I should have asked how it's like Twitter. Lightning being duct-taped to the side, while being normatively loaded, is actually accurate since the lightning integration is just that. One protocol interacting with another.

    it is like twitter in that it's designed to be like twitter.

    Ah yes, Twitter, the famous protocol for sending signed JSON blobs over a relay network.

    no, as in, the developer built nostr because he wanted a twitter-like microblogging platform he couldn't be banned from.

    really, this is skim-reading territory. you could have saved us both a lot of time by just reading the history of the thing.

    twitter-like microblogging platform he couldn’t be banned from.

    Wow, what a good faith breakdown!

    No, he wanted the ability to build microblogging platforms (among other stuff) on top of a decentralized relay network.

    But of course, you only skim-read, so can't blame you too much.

    That's literally not what he said in the interviews. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/05/30/bitcoin-social-network-nostr-creator-fiatjaf-/

    In his first interview with the press, @Fiatjaf says Twitter’s increasing propensity to ban users had frustrated him. But he was unable to switch to a competitor while retaining his followers. Inspired by Arc's idea for creating marketplaces where shop owners could move from one e-commerce platform to another, he started developing a new protocol to manage identities—at first for social networks, then for anything else.

    Commerce and censorship were the building blocks behind the Nostr from the start.
