 What’s this 1.8GB “documents and data” that #Damus is taking up on my phone??

 Nostr has to store data somewhere. 

Why not on your phone?

 Facebook and YouTube have servers in giant data centers. Nostr got no place like that.

 nostr has relays around the world. it's not a p2p app 🤔

 Nostr has 750,000 users. So how much data is that per relay? 

My guess is that they are spreading data out like it's a p2p app.
