That feels... High. No? Lol
It also counts mostr tho, I imagine
Discussion
it's nearly 90k all up but that includes spam bots.
Wonder what the nostr stats are minus bots, minus bridged accounts/mostr. 🤔
... minus secret alt accounts?
Hmm I think they're fine to count lol. As long as they're active.
But like I have added 10 or so RSS accounts which are 'active'. There are a fair amount of accounts like that
A lot of us had alt accounts on X, too. I always had at least 2, because they were always blocking or shadowbanning one. 😂
Feels high, but possible.
Numbers aren't going to take off until we get more of the OtherStuff going. Generic social media is a commodity.
We need boards, communities, readers, IDEs, hiking apps, etc.
Xenostr is real nostr
Yeah, but as soon as you get off the well-trodden path, it gets really muddy.
You have to literally build new roads to get people reliably to that new space, which means you need engineers.
I am imagining otherstuff will not be too near future. But also I know nothing. I am very curious to see what emerges tho.
Still waiting on Letr the substack alt, that seemed like it was very close to launching, no idea tho.
We needed social media first, because that's the easiest one to get a diverse set of users on and that's where all of the different OtherStuff reply feeds can come together.
But, like, time to move on to the next phase.
i think it's fair to say that about 10% of nostr activity is literally devs and entrepreneurs collaborating and commiserating, this is the most critical userbase
mostr shouldnt be counted, all the major servers shadowbans nostr anyway
