Plus, because it’s built on Nostr, a decentralized protocol favored by Dorsey, and is open source, developers can set up and create their own apps and run their own hosts, relays, and media servers.

Sounds great in paper, in reality it amounts to little more than Twitter with Lightning (Bitcoin) duct-taped to it

What makes Nostr like Bitcoin?

  The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it. Today, basically nobody uses it except for cryptocurrency shills.

    instead of asking obviously leading questions, why not tell people what you know?

I don’t think that’s entirely fair; the Nostr protocol has a modular design philosophy, with most components being optional addons, including the Bitcoin payments stuff. It’s genuinely decentralized and explicitly made to be easy to not use any baggage you don’t like.

It’s unclear from the article if the use of the protocol will also mean overlap with the content and community of Nostr, which is understandable to criticize, but the protocol itself is just another take on decentralized social media that does things differently than activitypub.
