After 146 days of thoroughly scouring #nostr every single day to keep up with news, updates, and other goings-on for nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk , I find there is a very noticeable weekday/weekend cycle similar to working in an office. Weekdays are full of app developments and new features, people working and building, #zapathon, scheduled Nostr Nests, and then the weekends are much more leisure activity, cookouts, very few updates from developers, no scheduled programming. For a decentralized network of people, #nostr has interestingly organized itself as a microcosm of “normal” society.
The entire internet has both a circadian cycle and weekly cycle.
If you ever see the traffic of a large site as a histogram, you can always easily see the Pacific Ocean in the data, also the Atlantic Ocean on closer inspection.
I always find these things satisfying when you notice them.
It’s very interesting to notice it. I never really noticed it on Twitter, but I also spend more time on here than I did there so maybe that’s the difference. I also wonder if lack of an algorithmic feed makes it more apparent.
