Deep dives

The Noster protocol enables decentralized and censorship-resistant speech

The podcast episode discusses the Noster protocol, which allows for decentralized and censorship-resistant speech on the internet. Unlike traditional social media platforms that are centrally controlled, Noster operates on a protocol level where users have a key pair, consisting of a public and private key, instead of a username and password. Users can access Noster content and create their own content using Noster apps or clients, which sign notes with the user's private key and send them to a network of relays. These relays store and distribute the content, providing redundancy and preventing any single point of failure. The Noster protocol offers users the ability to have full control over their identity, content, and connections, offering a solution to the problem of centralized control and censorship on social media platforms.
