 Not a website, but should've added

Soulseek  
 I was thinking the other day, I wonder if soulseek could utilize nostr. Seems like a weak point that there are just one or two servers out there enabling the whole protocol  
 Yeah been wondering that too. But I don't know anything. 
 This is why I live NOSTR

 What can/should survive?

+ Soulseek
+ Torrents

+ Probably some other stuff I've forgotten lol

Who would care if everything else faded into oblivion? What does nostr have to offer in this scenario?

 Content can continuously be broadcasted to new relays as old ones disappear. This is the philosophy behind dtan for torrents. 
 I think what little I know and understand of dtan makes me think it is a bit of a dark horse. I saw a little hum of excitement about it. I think it deserves it's own marketing campaign :) 
 We could probably say this about most Nostr apps 🥹 
 It seems especially shadowy and cool tho:) 
 BBS, mIRC, dark web in general 
 and monero, ofc 
 I would also be tempted to include Craigslist 🤔 
 lmao, still a hit in brazil (for some) 
 Craigslits didn't really take off in the UK, but we had gumtree which was p much identical  
 here as well, I guess, not that I've ever used it. by then, Orkut reigned alone over these lands
