Unlike federated platforms like Mastodon that require you to pick a server and trust its administrator, Nostr separates identity from infrastructure: you own your cryptographic keypair, and relays are dumb message forwarders with no authority over your identity. Anyone can run a relay, and the more relays exist, the more resilient the network becomes.</p>
