there was a massive influx from digg at some point, there was many such chances with the decade of censorship but nobody was ready, nostr is close but something p2p will probably be it, nostr has no decentralized media and no straight forward way to scale or mesh, we can however certainly move nostr and current content onto a p2p backend so we are on the right path

Yeah heard of it and stumbledupon, but never used any of these, I've never really used Reddit either.
Do you think a similar collapse of all these twitter alts into the best/last alt will happen?
Last, not necessarily being best maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
no it will be best but cost is a metric and nothing beats p2p on that
all social will go to something like nostr but p2p, people will consistently migrate to nostr and to the fedi, once on nostr you cant be contained to any app or website, bigtech becomes pointless, the tech monopolies are in for a rough ride, and they deserve it, pity elon wasted his money as thats a hell if a lot of dev work
I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer you properly, sorry. But sounds curious. What do you think of the Urbit project? I got given a moon or a planet or a whatever, but it was stupidly annoying to use. Is that the sort of thing you're thinking of?
sure urbit is interesting, there is many interesting projects, they all never take off for a variety of reasons, for p2p social they generally just dont work, look at ipfs it just runs poorly and social built on it even worse, one of the best p2p protocols was hypercore which has become holepunch which is what keet.io is using, the dev being done on it is determined to solve p2p for most uses and seems to be getting there such that nostr apps should look at using it
nostr is succeeding now because all these different apps can talk to each other and any new app has an established user base and content, and its censorship proof but only for text
