It widens the small vessels near the blockage and grows new ones. Doctors will pull up the scan of a man whose artery is shut completely and find the muscle behind it alive and fed. He built his own bypass over years and never knew he was doing it.\n\nI think that's the best picture of Nostr I've got. There's no company in the middle doing the pumping. There are a lot of small relays, run by regular people on cheap machines, and when one closes its doors your words go around it through the next one.\n\nThe big arteries of conversation have been narrowing for a long time. This is the body growing its own way around."}
