I published an essay in May taking the position that contrary to Substack's assertions, Substack Notes is a clone of Twitter insofar as it replicates Twitter's functionality. One issue I have with many alternative social media is that it copies the format and features of big tech centralized social media, which only makes sense insofar as one concludes that the only problems with the big tech options are centralization and ads (link to similar post about Mastodon in the essay). I am interested to see how Nostr develops since the practical way it handles identities and some of the applications built on top of it are novel and interesting. For whatever it is worth, I think those are far more notable selling points than portraying it as an alternative to Twitter.
