Been hearing a little about Nostr. Apparently it's a protocol?

How did it differ from fediverse stuff like ActivityPub protocol?

What is the community size or population of Nostr users compared to Lemmy or Mastodon?

Do you use it?

@JoeClu I think the protocol gets a lot right. It's just a shame all the users are alt-right.

Thanks, this is exactly what I've been thinking about as I've become more familiar with Fediverse protocols and applications.

Are they? Why would that be? Does that mean you'll purposefully stay away?

I don't really know anything about it; hence the reason I asked. It's disappointing that it has the political stigma of extreme polarization before it even has a chance to become more used.

Do you know if a lot of others have the same view as you on ir?
