If you haven't heard of it - Nostr is a decentralized twitter alt - but uses relays as soft servers (www.youtube.com)

Hey folks. Just wanted to put out a good word about Nostr. I'm finding it to be pleasantly easy to use and very akin to twitter but uses soft servers in the form of relays. Its not quite moving away from servers but where decentralization is happening frequently, its nice to give that liberty back to users.

Anyways its worth a try, here are some web clients. Just make sure to save your PK its basically your login:

While you can't force people not to see things they WANT to see, it would be possible for a certain relay to moderate the content it deliveres to its clients. I feel like it will become a huge feature pretty soon, since the global feed is a hot garbage already.
