I think people here underestimate just how many users Twitter/X has lost over the last year (not counting AI bots…). Looking back at people who were a major part of The Conversation a few years ago most of them simply don’t post anywhere anymore (or a few do on Bluesky). Turns out a bad algorithm is worse than none.

Nostr isn’t losing the user race, people just stopped posting.

Always has been 🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀.

Even Facebook was fun before algo feeds. Anything other than chronological order is just a tool to keep you scrolling longer.

I don’t think that’s fair. If I follow a lot of people I might want the top posts from those I follow since I last logged in on top. There are tons of options that aren’t terrible and aren’t just tuned scroll-encouragement.

I guess it's what you want to get out of it. Personally I want to see what my friends said, when they said it. Not let an algo decide whether it's worthy of my attention.
