> What are the main differences between Spasm and Nostr networks? Most Nostr apps are social graph-based Twitter clones, requiring users to specify preferred relays to facilitate event exchange. By default, events don't propagate across the Nostr network and the best UX is achieved by using a small set of popular relays, but this approach increases centralization and reduces censorship-resistance. Users can circumvent this by using lesser-known relays or running their own relay, but this often degrades the user experience. Technically, it's possible to use the Spasm network in a similar way for social graph-based apps, and the Unblocked team does exactly that with their decentralized profiles powered by Spasm, ENS, and IPFS. However, the official Spasm frontend offers a forum-like experience where instances exchange native and wrapped events through optional and highly customizable federation. This makes the Spasm network more decentralized, as each forum is self-sufficient and there are even standalone instances that don't federate with others. This unique setup allows cross-protocol event propagation across the Spasm network, which is important for censorship-resistance. It also unlocks network-layer protections against unwanted content, making the whole ecosystem more resilient to various attacks.
