Nostr Web Client

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.

Are there any reasonable estimates somewhere on people leaving Twitter/X? Just anecdotally seeing posts generally get fewer "views" over the last year or so, but not sure how they quantify views in the first place.

Most of my Twitter/X feed became stuff I just didn't want to see, and the platform really got in my way in trying to find content I did want to see that I decided to just delete my account. But I'm just an insignificant drop in the Twitter/X ocean anyway.

Anecdotally I’ve heard this kind of thing a lot. I don’t think we have good public stats, though. I’m skeptical they have good stats either, tbh, given the prevalence of fairly convincing AI bots due to LLMs.
