> Is Nostr Web3?

ChatGpt: Nostr can be considered part of Web3 due to its decentralized nature, user ownership of data, and censorship resistance, aligning with core Web3 principles. It enables users to control their identity and messages via cryptographic keys, fostering privacy and interoperability. However, unlike many Web3 projects, Nostr does not rely on blockchain or native token economies, making it a distinct, lightweight approach within the broader Web3 landscape.

Gemini: Yes, Nostr is a decentralized social media protocol that aligns with Web3 principles. Unlike traditional social media platforms, Nostr doesn't rely on blockchain technology or tokens. Instead, it uses a network of independent servers to ensure user privacy and control. This decentralized approach makes Nostr resistant to censorship and aligns with the core values of the Web3 movement. 

 It's Web 3.0 if only by incrementing the number in Web 2.0. 

 #Web3 = the sovereign web. So yes, #Nostr is very much Web3. 

 "Unlike traditional social media platforms, Nostr doesn't rely on blockchain technology or tokens."

🤦 

 Perhaps…. 

 Currently reading "Read Write Own" by Chris Dixon; I've just been replacing every instance of the word "blockchain" with #Nostr and it all lines up. 😅 

 Next question: is IRC web3 😂😋
