This is too good 🤣

Don’t kill me bro 😭

Challenge: Explain what relays are (not what they do. We know what they do! They let us good about online like silly geese) and don't use the word relay in your explanation. (Impossible).

They are digital bulletin boards that anyone can pin their messages to. Instead of being hosted in one central place, there are many of them floating around the internet, each run by someone different. When you send out a message, it gets copied to one or more of these boards, and others can read it by checking in with the boards they’re connected to. You don’t need permission to use them, and you can choose which ones to trust, ignore, or switch between, kind of like tuning into different radio stations that all carry overlapping chatter. They’re not gatekeepers. They’re more like carriers, passive middle-ground spaces that store and distribute messages without owning or controlling them. You can think of them as postal hubs in a decentralized mailing system. They don’t decide what’s important; they just pass along what’s sent.

Goodness gracious! That force! That charisma! This person should become an AI prompt engineer!
