 Have you never heard of Mastodon? 
 I've *heard* of it.  Why? 
 It existed for a long time.
Over 1 million users
Somewhat-decentralized 
Better user experience than Nostr by far
Better backend and frontend tech

 Mastodon isn't it. It has a bunch of inherent problems that can't be rectified. The fact that you are attached to one server for instance. It recreates the problems of email in social media. 
 Content wise it is alright though. Apart from the blocking fetish.
