I was about to scrape DM metadata to identify npubs who interact with and “onboard” new accounts. But naw. Not gonna be “that guy”.
Discussion
Couldn’t you “just” analyze Kind 1 graph?
You know … real people like private conversations for support and feeling special. Anyone who puts “effort” into onboarding a friend to Nostr is gonna have a private means to communicate with them, in person or online.
In our effort to identify and incentivize “social onboarding” (friends inviting friends to Nostr) Kind 1 will reveal “public interaction” at best. But we’re NOT gonna scrape private DM meta for higher resolution… so I’m still looking for ways to get a better picture.
