The former Twitter CEO has donated roughly 14 BTC worth $245,000 to fund Nostr's development, after recently publishing his views on a native internet protocol for social media.

Nostr is an open protocol that aims to create a censorship-resistant global social network. The protocol doesn’t rely on a trusted central server; instead, all users run a client. Using this client, users publish content by writing a post, signing it with their private key and sending it to other servers which then relay that content along. The relays are simple: Their only job is to accept posts and forward them along to relay participants.

    How is this better than any of the existing open source protocols?

        I’m not an expert in these things, but what is described in the post you linked sounds good to me
