Why nostr: - You own your identity - Your speech stands on its own - You can run your own everything - You own and control your social graph - You are free to say and do anything, but you are not free from consequences (non-repudiation of cryptographic signatures) - You can proof realness via proof-of-work, either directly or indirectly - Proof-of-work is what allows you to successfully combat bots, spam, and trolls, as it brings real cost to destructive actions - Ownership and realness allows you to build and curate webs of trust, which allows for canonicality without central authority
