 I agree. 
 Here’s my illustration of the Nostr network, and the value is has over other socials.

 It's a goog one.
Needs a map guide 
 Tell me more. 
 I think it should come with a guide that differentiates between users, clients, relays, and protocol.
Like, do those ostriches mean users or clients?

The protocol can be shown as the two-way or one-way vectors, with a special style and color.
Users are behind clients, which connect them to relays. Moreover, there could be private stand-alone relays and clients too.
And any element can be open or closed source, which can be indicated with various colors.
 
 Fair point. If the objective is to have an explicit diagram of The Nostr architecture and possibilities, this illustration needs more detail. 

OTOH, if the objective is to illustrate “what about nostr’s architecture makes it so special?” then less is more.

I’m not actually sure of The @fiatjaf’s intended audience. 
 Now I see the typo in *good 
 This is a fantastic representation. Show this to your friends that don't understand decentralized networks or the differences between Nostr, Twitter, and the Fediverse.

 Honestly, the issue is that my friends don’t care as long as it works while they’re using it 
 Right. 99% of the world doesn't care how the sausages are made. 
 Excellent! It gets even better.

Some Nostr relays connect to Mastodon severs and bring that to Nostr as well. 
 Thanks Derek. Nostr’s value statement is not its architecture. We can use the architecture as a supporting element, but explaining it further does not communicate value. 

The value of Nostr is sovereignty. This is our message. 

Own your socials. 
 Also… there’s the small challenge of onboarding. Here’s my solution for a client tailored to support the “in person” nostr advocate. Wd love your feedback.

 I already started sharing it. 😅 
 Updated The Nostr Network illustration to address concerns over “big media” content feeds and moderation.
