Fuck ‘em, as you said Nostr is amazing, why does it feel like @fiatjaf is just trying to put the whole protocol into a social media client model for comparison when it is a parallel universe to the World Wide Web

If you look at the web it started with a protocol (HTTP) and a single dominant client, a browser called "WorldWideWeb", which they renamed Nexus in 1994 to avoid confusion with the broader concept of the World Wide Web. So the first "WorldWideWeb" was basically Chrome. Other clients then appeared and evolved, making HTTP more robust (Line Mode, Erwise, Viola, Mosaic...)
This idea that HTTP appeared and then the web just sort of "happened" on top of it is widespread but totally false. It was a client model from the start.
