I've been working on a Quora/StackOverflow alternative (on top of Nostr).

I hope this demonstrates how a distributed social protocol can solve many use cases and the advantage to the end-user:

- do not get rugpulled by (VC backed) companies that own your data

- receive zaps/money by contributing

- data is truely available to everyone (but signed by author)

There are also tradeoffs:

* relays can just go away - you don't have your data then

* there is both user-friendly and secure way of managing your private keys; additionally, once your keys are gone, your identity is gone - there is no "I forgot my password" procedure

If you're worried about the durability of your contents, you can publish them on multiple relays, even self-hosted ones.

Also, events are just JSON content: you can easily dump them on your local storage and republish on another relay whenever you want.
