Apparently Nostr did grow ~25% right when Twitter got killed in Brazil:

Sick 🫂

LFG
Not bad. Hopefully they stick around.
I found a cool lil cluster of Brazilians, no idea if they are new or just new to me. But I'm glad I have the amethyst with translations :)
I am one of them🖐️
HERE WE ARE !
QUEM MAIS É DO BRASIL AÍ?
And will grow some more when nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 and nostr:npub13u20998frqs538lqf4kvhfrq9t69mk9e3aczfxc9pljze290yr4q86gkaz gets our billboards up!
Yeah, consequences of the bald man's actions.
If only the crazy rocket man would comply with the law
Just like the Nazi soldiers in World War II? Nothing justifies taking down the country's main source of information.
Not following the law justifies not being able to run your service
The order to block Starlink accounts was just the bald guy following the law, right?
We lost one of the largest social networks in the world and Brazil is going through a worldwide embarrassment because of this minister's actions. He is certainly doing a good job.
If the law tells an ISP to block an illegal site and you refuse, you are also going against the law. You might not like it because it is affecting your fav billionaire of the day, but the law is the law like it or not.
THESE NUMBERS ARE TOO CONSERVATIVE.
ALL THE CENTRALIZED PLATFORMS JUICE THEIR NUMBERS.
X CLAIMS HALF A BILLION USERS BUT I GET BETTER ENGAGEMENT ON NOSTR THAN MOST BLUE CHECKS.
True
you're just a Stud & a half. biased by badassery 🫡😂
Totally agree. Organic engagement on Nostr is way more genuine and impactful than inflated numbers on centralized platforms.
How much of this bump do you think was actually new users from Brazil?
My guess is that most of these were Bitcoiners reactivating after reading about Telegram and Brazil. Could also be a post conference bump. And, ofc, we've been growing steadily for ~6mos. It seems like folks are returning and sticking around due to better app experiences, interoperability, etc. One great example is that returning Bitcoiners are now able to link their npub to their nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 account and a have much richer experience with a pre-populated social graph like Breaker back in the day.
Wdyt? If these are Brazilians, where can I find them?

I am one of them.
Good for us! Bem-vindos!
I’m lowkey shilling Nostr to my Brazilian coworker 😬🤫😝✌️
True massive shift 🇧🇷🔥
Here we are 🖐
A large amount of Twitter accounts are bots I would like to guess more then 25%.
It absorbs entropy around the world, just as Bitcoin does.
Sadly, MSM only mentions Bluesky and Threads.
🚀
👀
Interesting!
Oh 🫶 I’m glad we have a safe space for them to come to!
Gradually, then suddenly ⚡️
Normies also learning how to use VPNs :)
I hope we all end up here at some point.

what's the best site for tracking NOSTR stats like this one and other
I'm one of those that just signed up. joined nostr a few days ago. its great. freedom of speech. no censorship. feels liberating.
Please, what are "trusted pubkeys writing events"?
#asknostr
e vai crescer mais ainda! É uma honra estar aqui quando, como se diz, "isso tudo ainda é mato". Viva a liberdade de expressão e financeira!
Essa pseudo liberdade do X.com não é estranha??? Um cara q mama em $$$ governamental o tempo todo com bastião do liberalismo na internet e rede privada!. Não soa estranho???
X pra mim é tentativa de Governos desesperada em conter o #nostr !!! E aposto que atrasou e muito esse crescimento. Deixo registrado q se continuar a crescer sera taxada assim como foi o site Silk route.

It will drop after, as with mastodon
