NOSTR is a protocol just as POP3, IMAP and SMTP are protocols for e-mail.
Everyone can have their own e-mail but everyone can write to anyone else who has an e-mail application.
Same with NOSTR, you can use it for various services:
- social networking
- video streaming
- chat
- community
- etc. etc... With the key difference being that you don't need to make an account for each service and you won't have to build up a following of contacts, but you will find everything in each NOSTR-based service. Nostr also has many other advantages, but you are a 5-year old child and it is already a lot if you have managed to understand everything I have written above :)
