Nostr in sheer decline: 
It was all a dream.
Discussion
It was too good to be true
Oh that’s a massive downtrend. But why? Nostr is Great
What's a high quality pubkey? One with > 10 followers?
He uses what he calls "Trust Rank".
"For now, trusted pubkeys are ones with nip05 from a good provider (some are not so good, and are blacklisted). We then use iterative approach to let the weights flow through the network and get distributed among graph nodes."

Implementation of ZAPS prolly brought a host of new users no? Maybe the glamour has wore off?
Nah, just a good time to buy in.
The optimism and enjoyment I get from spending my time here is still 📈
🧡⚡️💜
Next month with #marchofftwitter and Nostrica Nostr adoption will explode through the roof.
This is exactly what happened when Twitter people left to Mastodon when Elon bought it
Where can you find this data about nostr?
The signal has to diversify!

well then let's shut it down
I'd assume #nostriches are getting some sleep. It was quite intense couple of weeks recently on #nostr.
It did feel quieter last two days or so
#[0]
Nah, we good.
Judging by the engagement of this post I’d say that chart is bullshit
Good try, Elon!
nostr is better than twitter 🤙
Normal adoption curve imo
It was fun while it lasted!
Ah don't worry it's just the end of the first cycle like Bitcoin. This rally was like 4 weeks. So a week down a week sideways then the next nostr bull run will Commence. 
Your task is to bring 1 or more non bitcoin user to nostr. We need to diversify the content on here a bit more. I love Bitcoin too, but I think this is the pretty much the only content I've seen so far.

It’s not all Bitcoin content. There is also a lot of nostr content talking about how great nostr is.
😆 yeah that too. I honestly love early adoption of tech and watching how it progresses, but that's not for everyone.
This is a very good summary. 💣
I have never had a pseudonymous social media account before so I’m just experimenting posting stupid thoughts as they pop into my head. But it does seem like everyone just wants to talk about nostr on here. Feels a bit behind Mastodon.
Looks like a bitcoin correction tbh
lol we just need to HODL and everything will be ok lol
Buy the dip! Create multiple accounts?
It will improve I'm pretty confident. Like Bitcoin, the fundamentals have not changed and there is a massive use case. The public just haven't figured out they need it yet
Agree. When was Nostr genesis?
I think it's a year or so old. Unsure of the date or how it was implemented
looks like the long term bitcoin chart
The RED Line (Probable Spam) is distorting the Chart so the BLUE Line (High Quality Events) doesn't look as impressive as it would by itself.
If you hover over the blue dots you will see that they are generally trending higher since Jan.

#[2] uses what he calls "Trust Rank" to determine 'High Quality Events'. He has added information about it here: https://trust.nostr.band/
Nostr bear market. Building!
Looks like a bitcoin chart 😆 HODL!
Which relays are they looking at? I suspect most sane people moved to paid only.
It's over, pack your bags. Go home. There's nothing to see here...
Lol 😆 nothing is true everything is permitted
Eh… as bitcoiners we’re used to high volatility anyways
😇

Oof, Nostr's Q2 earnings gonna be interesting!

Signal is better than WhatsApp. Everyone uses WhatsApp. If you want to communicate with anyone...
So relays are implementing spam prevention then? I hope that's why!
We absolutely are. I'm blocking hundreds of thousands of events a day.
Bless you sir. 🙏
So glad to see relays implement spam prevention. It's a tough puzzle to solve but it's wonderful to see such progress being made. 🙏 to all the devs working on the relays. #[2]
Hey! Just curious and with zero intention of bugging you. Can you share more details on the heuristics you are using as criteria to block incoming events?
Must be super hard to keep avoiding the spammers workarounds
Relays are finally implementing spam prevention then? Glad to see that lol
Prob most of it was spam or bots. Plus, paid relays.
#[2] lottery bot shares similar fate 
Yea, tulip mania once again...
Been watching this almost daily. From a product management POV it's part of the immense task of finding product market fit which means a mix of savvy UX and inclusive pluralist appeal to a wide variety of people. Janky alphas and betas can't sustain much recurring use.
The tech-centered protocol culture here has a huge capacity for this as long product and design craft also come on board to take on wider user needs and requirements for distributed web cooperation, to support deep pluralistic inclusive experience, and increase overall cultural diversity.
It's still early days. All this launch data so far in this chart, the rate of growth, offers validation that there's a there-there to further cultivate. But full-on community-centered product strategy and design are required, in addition to foresight in how the engineering of the architecture can support wider needs. Any good product so much more than the technical architecture, the tech side of things is maybe 20% of the solution fit... you need research, product strategy, design, marketing, community engagement, etc.
Just like Mosaic was the client app to demo HTTP viability and validate it, it wasn't until Netscape that we got a better product-market fit for HTTP to cross the chasm. So many products fail because they get stuck within this early adopter geek side of the chasm, and fail to connect with 90% of the potential users.

They left because nostr did not choose them.

Part of that was the illusion of users that spam created, and part is the switch to paid relays makes the new user experience much worse.
I'd say the last part is that the way nostr is so fast, most clients are only fetching recent posts, you can easily lose track of people who you're subscribed to. With nos.social we're pulling from relays but storing locally in coredata so that we can highlight older posts (maybe like 1 day old) which are more relevant.
hopefully it returns to its previous coolness #[0]
well I'm over here shitposting.
Doing my part.
GFY.
If nothing else it’s weaned us off trad social media. Just organising archives and then bye insta. Twitter next. Don’t even care if nothing fills the gap. Nostr is not a dream-it’s a portal.⚡️Rome wasn’t built in a day🏛️
I'm living the dream, baby
This is Goddamn Nic Carter's fault isn't it?
What's a high quality pubkey?
The one that has ( cryptographically speaking) the highest entropy… I hope I got it right 🤓
This is fake news
Can you find a way to gauge organic growth - the spamming and bots?

this is due to a sudden influx of people who were looking for an alternative to classic social media and got disappointed. and they left, good. let the fun times begin. nostr is more than a social platform. this is not social media and shouldn't strive to become that. /end rant
Well said
Ok, thank you for the work anyway. What's the next thing coiners want to disrupt? what is the next protocol?
Just too lazy to pubkey. Leave me alone!
It was a fun experiment

Pack yer bags we are going back to Twatter everyone
🤣
Dont tell me what to do son. 😂😂
🫂
I don’t know if I’m allowed back
According to TA we are at strong support..Great time to tell your friends to jump in. Up only from here! 🚀
We had a good run
#[0]
Cycles?
the people left will keep nostr going 🧡
I said the same thing 5 weeks ago. Then 2 weeks ago I had to rebuild my relay bcs it started blowing up due to unexpected fast growth )
I had this is my head after seeing the post too haha. Talking about this right?
#[4]
Share the method to count the users. I have two profiles with different relays sets and its challenging to find some users we share.
It’s relative… it still very upward versus December when I joined. The peak was China.
that was the #[2] #[3] bubble
It’s all one way traffic now… /s
#[2]
I think it was just some spam from bots for a couple days
