What is Nostr? ⚡
#Nostr is not an app.
Nostr is an open protocol for social networks.
Instead of one company controlling everything, Nostr lets you own your identity and choose which apps to use. Your account is not tied to a single platform.
Think of it like this:
📧 Email = protocol
📱 Gmail / Outlook = apps
Nostr works the same way.
