It would be great if it could work on rooted Android.

Nostr's biggest problem isn't censorship — it's discovery.
Twitter manipulates you. Nostr abandons you.
Both are wrong.
But what's being built right now is different:
→ NIP-90: choose your own algorithm
→ Web of Trust: build your own trust graph
→ DVMs: thousands of feed providers competing for your attention
For the first time, a social network where the algorithm is transparent, open, and replaceable.
TikTok decides what you see.
On Nostr, you decide.
Not ready yet. But it's being built. 🔨

2026-05-16 15:56:09 UTC

Right now, because there’s no advertising on Nostr, advertisers are making money for Mark and Elon. If Nostr won this advertising and used it efficiently, the platform would grow. But the developers aren’t aware of it

AI predicted your behavioral patterns, and it's right.
Social media generates money. And decentralized social media should share that.

Zap and advertising revenue are two different things. Social media cannot survive without advertising revenue. More importantly, if we share advertising revenue, everyone will benefit from Nostr.

Because we want everyone to use decentralized social media. And there should be rewards distributed through social media. Why should we make Musk and Zuckerberg rich?

2026-05-16 15:02:53 UTC

Stop waiting for Nostr to feel like Twitter.
It never will. That's the point.
Talk to people. Reply. Zap. Show up.
Not because it scales.
Because it matters when it doesn't.
This is how decentralization actually wins. One conversation at a time.

2026-05-16 15:02:38 UTC

Bluesky has 42 million users.
Nostr has a fraction of that.
But Bluesky is a product. Nostr is a protocol.
You don't own your identity on Bluesky. You don't own your audience. You don't own your feed.
Small and free beats large and caged.

2026-05-16 15:02:14 UTC

Here's what nobody tells you about decentralized networks:
They don't die from bad code.
They die from indifference.
One genuine reply to a stranger can be the difference between them staying or leaving forever. That's not poetic. That's math.

2026-05-16 15:01:57 UTC

Every new user who joins Nostr and finds silence… leaves.
Week 1 retention: 1-2%.
That means 98 out of 100 people who arrive, vanish.
The protocol isn't broken. The community is just too quiet.

## 📊 Bluesky vs Nostr — Statistics
Comparison (2026)
### Total Users
**Bluesky** dominates by a massive margin. As of May 2026, Bluesky has approximately **42.3 million registered users**, up from 10 million in September 2024 — a growth of over 320% in roughly 18 months. [Resourcera](https://resourcera.com/data/social/bluesky-users/)
**Nostr**, by contrast, is orders of magnitude smaller. The total number of pubkeys (unique user identities) on Nostr as of August 2024 was around **33.5 million** — but this figure is heavily inflated by abandoned or inactive keys, and only about **993,000 users** had actual profiles with bios and contact lists. [Social Capital Markets](https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/nostr-statistics/) More recent data paints an even more modest picture: Nostr's daily user numbers sit at roughly **17,000 daily users** according to nostr.band stats as of early 2025. )
---
### Daily Active Users (DAU)
| Platform | DAU |
|---|---|
| Bluesky | ~3.5–4.1 million |
| Nostr | ~17,000–21,000 |
Bluesky has around **3.68 million daily active users** as of 2026. [Resourcera](https://resourcera.com/data/social/bluesky-users/) Nostr had about **3,675 daily active users** as of October 2025 [Rost Glukhov](https://www.glukhov.org/post/2025/10/nostr-overview-and-statistics/) — roughly **1,000x fewer** than Bluesky.
---
### Growth Story
Bluesky expanded from 10 million users in September 2024 to 40.2 million by November 2025, driven by sharp spikes from cultural moments — Brazil's X ban brought 2.6 million new users in one week, and the US presidential election triggered a jump from 15 million to 22.5 million users in 12 days. [Sprout Social](https://sproutsocial.com/insights/bluesky-statistics/)
Nostr, from 2022 to June 2023, experienced a user surge of 39,275% — starting from just ~800 profiles in December 2022 and reaching 315,000 by the following year. [Social Capital Markets](https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/nostr-statistics/) But growth has since plateaued. A prediction market in 2025 put only a **14% chance** that Nostr would ever reach 100,000 weekly active users. [Manifold](https://manifold.markets/itsTomekK/will-nostr-reach-100000-monthly-act)
---
### Content & Activity
As of 2026, Bluesky has a total of **2.43 billion posts** on the platform, with users creating 1.41 billion posts in 2025 alone. [Resourcera](https://resourcera.com/data/social/bluesky-users/)
On Nostr, text note events surged from ~17.8 million in 2023 to **304 million by August 2024** — a 1,607% increase — though much of this is likely bot or spam activity given the small actual active user base. [Social Capital Markets](https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/nostr-statistics/)
---
### Infrastructure
Nostr operates through **1,005 relays** globally across 50 countries, of which 471 are public, 191 restricted, and 343 offline. [Social Capital Markets](https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/nostr-statistics/) As of April 2024, 95% of relays can't cover operational costs, and 20% have faced significant downtime. [Social Capital Markets](https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/nostr-statistics/)
Bluesky runs on the **AT Protocol** with centralized hosting, backed by a $100 million Series B funding round raised in April 2025, led by Bain Capital Crypto. [Limelightdigital](https://www.limelightdigital.co.uk/bluesky-users/)
---
### Unique Financial Feature
Nostr has something Bluesky doesn't: **Zaps** — Lightning Network micropayments between users. In the first half of 2024 alone, Nostr recorded approximately 1.65 billion Zap transactions totaling roughly 1.65 billion satoshis in value. [Social Capital Markets](https://socialcapitalmarkets.net/crypto-trading/nostr-statistics/)
---
### Summary
| Metric | Bluesky | Nostr |
|---|---|---|
| Registered users | ~42.3M | ~1M (active profiles) |
| Daily active users | ~3.7M | ~17–21K |
| Total posts | 2.43B | 304M+ events |
| Funding | $123M raised | Community/donations |
| Infrastructure | AT Protocol (centralized) | Relay network (decentralized) |
| Payments | None native | Lightning "Zaps" |
In short, Bluesky is a mainstream social platform with tens of millions of users, while Nostr remains a niche, highly decentralized protocol with a much smaller but philosophically distinct community — primarily attracting Bitcoin and privacy enthusiasts like yourself.

Nostr will fail if a sharing economy cannot be built upon it.

2026-05-16 11:18:42 UTC

Nostr cannot grow without an advertising system. Is everyone aware of this? If they distribute advertising revenue with a token like X, everyone will join.

Open source models don't seem bad either.

The video didn't open for me, but other videos do. I like this site. It's simple and a perfect alternative to YouTube.

One of the problems with Nostr is: too many people are trying too many things. If they all worked together to perfect social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, etc., within Nostr, we would progress much faster.

A single app will dominate and Nostr will spread from there, but that's impossible without distributing advertising revenue.

EXCLUSIVE: When David Beckham — the football-mad only son of a heating engineer and a hairdresser — joined the Manchester United academy in July 1991 aged 16, he earned £29.50 per week.
⁠ From humble beginnings to running a global empire: The Sunday Times can reveal today that Sir David and his wife, Victoria, are now valued at £1.185 billion, thanks to shrewd investments across football, food and drink, property and fashion. ⁠
⁠ The valuation, compiled for the annual Sunday Times Rich List, makes Beckham the first British billionaire sportsman and means the couple’s wealth has more than doubled over the past year, when they were worth £500 million.⁠ ⁠
