nostr 101:
-each user has a unique id that he can generate independently (similar to a bitcoin addresses)

-relays are dumb simple servers

-notes composed by users and shared redundantly to many relays and a user can specify these relays

-notes are only text to keep the relay operation simple and cheap

-notes may point to web addresses that host media or any large data.

-a nostr client fetches notes from relays and takes care of organizing these notes onto social media posts (or any other form)

-a user can choose from which client he would like to access notes such as primal.net, iris.to, rabbit.syusui.net or many others

censorship resistance:
-In case a client tried to suppress a user, that user can switch to another client without losing his fanbase, posts, followers, DMs or even his bookmarks
-for relays, notes are already redundant on many relays and the user can specify his favorite relays to host his notes

i hope that wasn't much 😃
thanks for your work man, you are a legend
