In fairness, I don't trust it on any platform these days. Spam is out of control on most of them and paid subs has been a thing for years. I favor removing it from MY view. I get nothing from it and will never trust it anyway.

I'm also skeptical of claims regarding active users, but only because I don't fully understand the calculation one way or the other. I think it's possible to 'use' Nostr without necessarily being visibly active, unlike with centralized services where everything is easily traceable and centralized.
