Social media services have largely become a marketplace designed to capture and hold your attention, rather than places where people share information and talk to one another. A large part of this is because they are hosted on large-scale platforms that must be paid for by large, centralized companies.

Wouter Constant joins Tom and Russ to explain what NOSTR is, and how it&#8217;s different.
