I’ve been on NOSTR, first DAMUS now Primal for ~1-1/2 yrs. It seems to me the exodus occurred ~4-6 mos ago but for me to state that with confidence, I lack data. I’m sure somebody keeps NOSTR statistics somewhere. The lack of revenue/attention is what likely led to this. I’m puzzled also. I believe we have become SO divided (and conquered) that most need to swim in a HUGE pond to find enough like-minded to interact with. NOSTR is currently a very small (and time frugal) segment of society. Also there is a tendency for most to follow the herd because “Fifty-million Frenchmen can’t be wrong.” I think they can be.
GoldfishThumb1’s reply to you makes sense to me. I’m used to being in a very small minority, I was a small business owner for over thirty years.
