Ok, I checked pubky, so your rage bait worked.
Total Identity Profiles:
Nostr: Over 3,000,000+ public keys with configured bios and profiles.
Pubky: Roughly 1,000 to 2,000 early tester and developer profiles.
Active Production Apps:
Nostr: 100+ native and web applications across iOS, Android, and desktop (social, video streaming, podcasting, blogging).
Pubky: 2 flagship applications (Pubky App for social web and Pubky Ring for mobile identity signing).
Network Content Units:
Nostr: 100M+ unique JSON text events heavily replicated and distributed across the globe.
Pubky: Small, lightweight file-trees isolated to individual user homeservers.
Infrastructure Backbone:
Nostr: Around 700 specialized, public-facing Nostr Relays running independent filtering and broadcasting rules.
Pubky: Leverages the global, 10M+ node BitTorrent Mainline DHT for finding identity addresses, backed by a handful of actual data homeservers.
Ecosystem Maturity:
Nostr: Highly mature, organically distributed, and largely chaotic.
Pubky: Early Alpha/Beta stage, tightly coordinated, and mostly developer-focused.
Because this is all about network effects, hard pass until you grow at least 100x, more like 1000x
