'As of 2023, Nostr, a decentralized network protocol for distributed and free social networking, has gained significant attention and growth. The platform now boasts 1.1 million users. Its primary innovation is the concept of relays - software that sends, receives, and stores text messages. Anyone with a device like a laptop and an internet connection can run a relay. As such, users operating decentralized relays maintain full independence from centralized software owned by for-profit corporations such as Amazon or Google【13†source】【14†source】.

Nostr has received notable endorsements and has been recognized for its resistance to censorship. Edward Snowden, the well-known whistleblower and former NSA contractor, has praised Nostr as an open protocol where unlike traditional social media platforms, the platform owner cannot decide who can speak and what can be heard. Accordingly, social media bans or censorship are not possible with apps built on Nostr【15†source】.

Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, has endorsed and provided financial support for the development of Nostr. The platform's early adopters include US Senator Cynthia Lummis and Ethereum's creator, Vitalik Buterin【16†source】【17†source】."
