the fuck is a nostr
@Ace66062 apparently it's a completely decentralized social media protocol.
Think BitTorrent or Bitcoin but social media
Fedi on the other hand is federated social media.
Think email or usenet but social media

@sjw hmm odd, do you mean to say fedi is not completely decentralized? I'm assuming ActivityPub is the protocol that fedi uses but isn't that just fedi's equivalent to nostr?

@Ace66062 @sjw nah there are dedicated, centralized servers that just communicate with each other. If fedi were decentralized, then every user would have pieces of it on their device that they would share with other users (like a torrent). In basic terms, at least, which is about as far as I understand it.
@beardalaxy @beardalaxy @sjw i kind of get it but kind of don't, probably too tech illiterate to fully understand it 
@Ace66062 @sjw although, I guess each server kind of acts this way. It would be like if you had multiple people connecting to your computer while you're torrenting so they can see and use all of the files but you're the one who is hosting all of it. With actual decentralization it's on a user to user basis. I think. Or if I'm wrong just ignore xD
