Nostr currently has ~14k-32k users. It’s great being here with the freaks. There isn’t as much pressure to be an influencer. You’re free to be more genuine and weird. There’s probably extreme alpha here too, but people from the outside wouldn’t even think to look. Everyone is so radically individualistic that much of what’s said here wouldn’t compute to a collectivist, polite-society outsider.

Where is the number ~14k-32k from? I mean how did you get it?

From here, but I don’t know the methodology. https://stats.nostr.band/

That downward trend is bullish for keeping nostr vibes the way they are

use npub.world for your statistics.

ā€œAs much pressure to be an influencerā€

I am intrigued by this observation. What about the nostr clients fosters ā€œinfluencerizationā€? Is this a good thing for nostr? Is it good for people? If not, what can we do to disincentivize against it?

I’ll admit I’m greatly against it, but I can also acknowledge that this is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the sheer volume of begging/manipulating peoples heartbeats that is so pervasive on the internet these days.

In light of that, I *could* see some positive benefits of it for the ecosystem at large.
