Thought of something today…

People like to compare Bluesky and Nostr because they are built around a similar idea. But it’s claimed Bluesky has more users, a few million apparently. But Nostr supposedly only has 100k or so active users.

Yet today I went searching for real world events and groups around each. What did I find?

Couldn’t find a single event about Bluesky.

Yet the first search found numerous conferences, meetups, and other gatherings for #Nostr

I think this is actually a decent litmus for telling the difference between an app with some users, and a movement. One is cheap, the other lasts.

#Nostr is a movement. We aren’t going anywhere. 🫡
