Oddbean new post about login | logout I don't think "relay" is the best name for what we have on Nostr, but for what they have there it is a much worse name.
😅
Nostr “education” materials can refer to blue sky as having a “master relay” vs nostr’s distributed relays having “no master”. Yea. Relay is a poor name … but the networks are easier to compare for the fact of shared (crappy) terminology. Bluesky and “mastodon” (activitypub) are nostr’s competition for the “decentralized” space. Nostr wins, but language has to prove it. We good.
