This is my vision as well. I really liked the proposal with rendez-vouz beacons and webrtc for those side channels. What spec are you thinking of using?

Now this is interesting! This is what I wanted to see!
To me the idea of combining BitTorrent (a fully P2P backend, every client is a server) and 4chan (only the data that people actually engage with and care about gets stored) is a much more interesting and appealing direction than the original vision of Nostr, which IMO ultimately adds up to not much more than just running a bunch of private IRC servers.
To be clear I don't know yet if Bitsocial does the "only preserve what people actually care about" thing by default, but that's certainly what I would do by default. It's also very BitTorrent-like as well after all.
