i’m very new here but i’ve already realized that most users who start using nostr end up giving up on it and abandon the protocol in its entirety.

anyone have a good explanation as to why this is happening?

too much bitcoin maybe 😹

i just took that as an oppurtunity to learn

also, i'm more used to "defining your own algorithm" than most; perhaps thats a barrier that people coming from centralized social media struggle to overcome 🤔

standard reason is that they can't find people with similar interests

Overvaluation of the convenience of an established platform.

Undervaluation of the benefits of a fledgling protocol.

A YouTube commenter on my recent video about decentralized networks mentioned that they always get flooded with right wing people without getting a wide range of content

Lack of algorithms, relative size of the user base compared to other socials, and mediocre user experience on a number of the apps requires more patient work.

It's not addicting like the other social medias, and there's not a lot of content variety.

I think it's the only healthy way to do social media, so I hope more people come and stay. But most people don't do healthy.

there seems to be a mass exodus during spam attacks especially when the spam attack is gay porn 😂
