Did nostr.band just reformulate “trusted users” to make stats that had been trending down for months flip and look better? nostr:note1rr23wzc05w9dfy5xruykfp35nfzna9e5ugr7dutgnr4ca2tca8eqya6ja6

Is that why? Who knows? But the data is definitely different.
Yeah, it’s showing wildly different graphs than it was a week ago.
Nostr.band is fake statistics. Bad data, bad stats.
I mean, I knew it was manipulated, but the dramatic change in historical data from a week ago is… stark.
Is there a better/trusted stats site for nostr?
I don’t think so, the truth is there are so many bots and various relays and various ways to obfuscate actions. stats on nostr are going to require a whole lot of inference, analysis, and “adjustments” to get anything close to accurate.
The only real stats that matter are peoples’ perception of growth- are their friends joining? Are the following and follower counts of people you know are legit growing? Everything else can be manipulative, even general stats of those points. Are interesting posts being discovered?
