Great challenge ❤️

## Here's my ~5 lines:

On Twitter, Facebook/Insta, Tiktok, etc. you're uploading your content to that company's servers. They control and censor the content you see to sell ads. You're their product.

Nostr isn't a company. It's an open protocol like HTTP or email, but for social media. Instead of one company, your profile and content lives on hundreds of independent servers around the globe. No central authority can manipulate your feed & there's free bitcoin lightning transactions.

## Here's my whole draft sorted by priority, so cut off when you want:

On Twitter, Facebook/Insta, Tiktok, etc. you're uploading your content to that company's servers. They act as the central authority that can direct, control, and censor the content you publish and see in your feed. They use this power to make money by selling your attention to advertisers.

Nostr puts an end to this. It's an open protocol for social media that works without any central authority. Your profile and your content live de-centralized on hundreds of independent servers we call "relays" around the globe. That means:

- No central authority manipulates your feed.
- It's integrated with bitcoin lightning, so you can freely send and receive money without intermediaries.
- You can freely change what shows up in your feed.
- You can build anything like Twitter, Reddit, Medium, Twitch and many more things on top of Nostr. So it's definitely an interest place to join now.
