There was Secure Scuttblebutt, but it had issues that hindered adoption.
Nostr does actually seem like a more usable version of it, but the only people I’ve ever seen use it are cryptobros, so it’s got a kind of anti-network effect.

Nostr really isn’t about the platform, it’s about the simple, platform-agnostic keypair setup that identifies you.
