Before nostr was created I imagined a decentralized social media platform where everyone hosted their own content.

To illustrate the idea. Imagine user one would host their own conrent and the content of anyone they follow. User one's followers will host their own content along with the people the users they are following.

This creates an incentive to be mindful of who you follow and for those with the greatest following to have the greatest reach. In that network, hitting the follow button represents a physical commitment to host content (either on a cloud service or a personal server).

I am not technical enough to understand exactly what is meant by giftwrapping, but I thought I would post this in case it sparked an idea.

Thanks for your continued work and dedication 🙏 

 This Nostr proposal is not that different from what you are saying. The only difference here is the signatures. I was working on a version of a P2P system like you described back in 2008. It is possible. It's hard, very hard, but possible.  

 Very cool man. I'm here for the experiments and the developments. 

Onwards towards freedom 🤙
