Yep. No offense to anyone, but SN is simply someone else's server, just like StackerOverflow. I've no issues with SN btw, simply highlighting the fact that it would be not an advancement.
Building it on a neutral protocol would possibly generate a different outcome in terms of no censorship etc. Clearly there's an issue of spamming and, if referring to "correct" and "wrong" stuff, there's the risk of people abusing it by posting notes that cannot be deleted. That is an advantage of Nostr that is difficult to manage with this other kind of "forum-like" discussion platforms.
Anyways, forums (like StackerOverflow or SN) are still way better than the paywalled gardens like damn Telegram, Discord etc. Anyone is moving to these solutions and we're not realizing that the usefulness of information relies on its availability. stuff on telegram is not reachable easily. Same for Simplex btw.
