I know that user retention hasn't been the best lately. I feel it's due to people that would be interested in certain selling points such as censorship resistance were early adopters, most don't care so much, most are affected by the chicken and the egg problem of wanting to be where their friends are.

I think we were given a huge gift in Elon stepping down as I can picture Elon stan memelords loving this place, (and loving their memes getting zapped. I imagine CEO Irene, who's name might as well be Karen will disenfranchise a far larger amount of people than was ever shadowbanned under previous administration's, and while Elon pushed libs to Bluesky, she's gonna push people to Nostr, at least that's my hope.

In general, much like something else I love, there will be short-term volatility, but as long as it doesn't die, (and good luck trying to kill it) it will only get bigger.
