 it is strange; perhaps it is folly to hope for anything to be universal and 'villages' of common practice are inevitable. 
 Hyperlinks are universial.  The U in URL stands for universal really.  But it is also uniform.  Everyone uses it the same way.  Which is why the web won.  Nostr is an http upgrade protocol so it inherits some of that from the parent protocol.  Network effect still play a role.   
 Good point 
 PS your comment reminds me of marshall mcluhan! 
 the medium is the message! 
 I have a copy of War and Peace in the Global Village.  Quite a work.
