Yeah, but is it a social network?

I think the blogosphere is the most succesful distributed social network. People just dont like viewing it that way.

I asked this in another comment, but why aren't we using DHTs for peer discovery for social apps? The ratio mechanic provides incentives in the file sharing realm, but you need different incentives for the threaded chat realm.

it's only the storage infra, though. but it stores content, nodes, and messages in the same DHT.

Yeah I think this nostr stuff is a dead end. Social media should be bittorrent-like
