Depending on how you read this you'll either get Nostr or Bluesky or Farcaster -- although I think Ross's is much closer to Nostr because he makes it clear that the client is talking directly to the "content servers", while on these others the client talks to a big backend that then, through some indirect means, fetches the content from a meaningless place.

The shape of "content servers" is not very well defined though, and turns out that is the hardest part. In Nostr these are "relays" and no one can agree exactly on the role relays should play on Nostr currently, what relays should be contacted by clients in which circumstances or what query language would be ideal for them to expose to clients.

It looks like Ross is imagining a world in which there are only a handful of these "content servers" that all get contacted all the time by all clients, but that is not clear.
