Nature's many attempts to evolve a Nostr

For who might be pulled in by the vague title, not knowing what a nostr is, thinking this article has anything to do with evolution - it has nothing to do with evolution or nature. Not one example of nature trying to evolve a nostr is descibed.

Maybe like... the author thought a nostr is similar to, I dunno, a pack or tribe or something?

It's clearly a tongue in cheek joke about the progression of projects with similar goals that reach imperfect outcomes, with the implicit assumption that Nostr represents the ideal solution.

I mean, i thought it was pretty clear - its a using convergent evolution as a metaphor for recenr developments in distributed apps.

(Whether the author is convincing on the other hand...)

There was a “nature keeps evolving crabs” meme that was floating around a while back, I think it is a reference to that. I was also disappointed by the lack of nature, evolution, and crabs in the article.

I thought the journal Nature was doing some decentrailized publishing thing.

Nature has successfully evolved an Israeli Nostr: almost every mammal has at least one nostr.il
