 then you either dont understand nostr or distributed

i am not going to bother with that silly article btw tho it likely agrees with me

https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/distribute

'To distribute is to disperse widely, hand out, or spread around'

how are nostr notes distributed? how can nostr notes be distributed? are nostr notes on a wide variety of servers? are nostr notes handed out widely to relays? can i put nostr notes on a usb stick and give them to a friend? can that friend send those notes from that usb stick to a relay? can 500 other relays download those notes from that relay? can 1million people download those notes from those relays?

how is nostr distributed?
