A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I guess the biggest difference for users is that nostr relays don't federate with one another. So you'll have to query multiple relays yourself if you want to see stuff outside of the relay(s) you post to. The other big difference is that your identity is a keypair. The relays you send to only know your public key and that's it.
E: someone running a relay could still decide you need to create an account or something, but this account is only the permission to use this specific relay. Your identity would still be your keypair, so moving to another relay is easy.
