Now that is unfair. You are pointing out flaws at Mastodon and Scuttlebutt and then applying the same tag to NOSTR without being correct.

NOSTR is the same as Email on that regard. You push a note to the destination (relay) and adding more destinations doesn't increase the load, it splits the load.

There is no centralization at NOSTR, there is no mandatory record of who sends who and what. It is just like email, send it over and let the receiving parties do whatever they want with it.

In fact, it goes beyond email to the point that you can write a NOSTR note on a piece of paper and still be certain that the note was written by a specific person and is unmodified.

I'm just pointing out that "it's a protocol" describes nothing useful.

>NOSTR is the same as Email on that regard... [etc]

This is useful information :)
