This is what happens when client devs ignore Users who want *some* tools, because they don’t think those tools are perfect enough.

Half my activity on Xitter is telling people to get on #Nostr - guess what I’ve stopped doing on Xitter now that I can’t recommend a good client to shield n00bs from basic spam?

My own noting has dropped off and I can’t in good conscience tell anyone to join here when it’s a shitshow because we have no NIP05 filtering to stop ReplyGuy.
Nostr had been growing steadily throughout 2024, but recently dropped below 10k users for the first time this year, following a major, costly attack. It had previously crossed 20k and was aiming for 50 DAU in the near future. Unfortunately, over half the user base, hit by spam, have left. I hope it's just a temporary setback and that Nostr can recover. Would have been nice if they'd focused on spamming the competition, and helping to grow nostr. These are the worst people.
