 People who pretend that something like nostr or better has never been tried are either too young or dishonest.

I was interested in nostr since 2022 because:

- Simple protocol (at that moment)
- Enough libraries to try and implement 
- Some known bitcoiners involved in it 
 There's nothing like nostr what are you trying to say? 
 it kind of reminds me of this project with a terrible name (for people not into military slang) oh yea "secure scuttlebutt"

which is vaguely similar, a protocol relying on cryptographic self-signed messages, with a social network as primary application, but not the same, for example it doesn't have relays but relies on every user hosting their own peer
