    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 built microblogging platforms on top of a decentralized relay network.

        That’s literary not what he said in the interviews. forbes.com/…/bitcoin-social-network-nostr-creator…

        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.
