I think Nostr is more similar to irc than to usenet.

In usenet you could have newsgroup like in RSS.

RSS is for subscriptions (read only).

Usenet was for news/forums, like mailing lists but with its own protocol (NNTP), and it was great.

But with today's Internet size it wouldn't be manageable, since it's very much a directory/DNS like structure, so very centralized.

As for the original question, I still don't know much about NOSTR as a protocol to differentiate it from NNTP, both uses relays to distribute messages. Maybe there are similarities.
