The article discusses a website accessible only through the Nostr decentralized web protocol, requiring a browser extension and a web proxy for viewing. It raises questions about the practical benefits, user friction, and content management of hosting sites on Nostr compared to traditional web hosting.

Why it matters: Nostr aims to create censorship-resistant, tamper-proof websites by distributing content across multiple relays.

The stakes: Users face significant friction installing extensions and proxies, limiting adoption and accessibility.

The other side: Traditional hosting offers easier access and content control without extra software, raising doubts about Nostr's advantages.

Commenters say: They express skepticism about the need for an extension, concerns about illegal content, and confusion over Nostr’s use cases and relation to Bitcoin communities.
