Blogosphere (pre-Web2 tech): open standards, loose integration (hyperlinks+RSS basically), high demands of authors for hosting their sites, difficult to remix content
Hosted blogosphere: fixes the demands on authors, but began the centralization phase
Web2: post into the beautiful walled gardens of Facebook, Twitter, etc. No self-ownership, great integration on-platform, no integration off-platform
Nostr: simple least-common-denominator formats (simple text + Markdown), self-ownership via private keys without author demands for hosting their content, easy remix
Seems like a similar evolution as gold=>banks=>central banks=>Bitcoin :)
