Agreed. I love me some #nostr. I use it all day, every day since May 1, 2023. The barrier for entry is IMHO, too much preachy religious, political posts, which alongside the intensely technical ones, can put off the potential “keeper” npub.
Kingbee (nprofile…2y96) and I have npubs that we follow and truly find value in, which keeps us active. It took about six months of daily trying to overcome the Joe Rogan/JordanPeterson vibe when I first got on #nostr. Frankly
daniel (nprofile…2e70) ,
Sergio (nprofile…03mx) and a few others kept me engaged by the sheer force of their npub personality. I would take a bullet for those two.
jb55 (nprofile…0qhs) and
miljan (nprofile…zw54) have shown a willingness to help the uninitiated become comfortable on this protocol, which is unheard of on legacy SM. I even got a response from
jack (nprofile…86vm) once (where I felt it was really him), tho we *disagreed on Elon and his role in our space. There are signs that we must weather this digital winter where AI gains ascendancy. It is a beautiful terrible thing. ☯️
*AFAIK since Jack does not argue
All npubs who helped me/us that I am not naming, beg pardon.
If we only count users who have 5 or more followers (who also have at least 5 followers)... We only have about 4000 daily active users on nostr over the last 30 days 👀
Yes I understand there are many ways to slice data and label it, and this one isn't flattering... But we probably should face it instead of coping.
What we have done so far hasn't worked, we aren't just early, we have been/are turning users off.
I hope we can turn it around soon
