After 146 days of thoroughly scouring #nostr every single day to keep up with news, updates, and other goings-on for nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk , I find there is a very noticeable weekday/weekend cycle similar to working in an office. Weekdays are full of app developments and new features, people working and building, #zapathon, scheduled Nostr Nests, and then the weekends are much more leisure activity, cookouts, very few updates from developers, no scheduled programming. For a decentralized network of people, #nostr has interestingly organized itself as a microcosm of “normal” society.

We work hard and we play hard. I rarely use social media on the weekends. That's family time. I'm sure most people are the same way.
100% same here. Weekends are my time with family and friends. Just interesting how noticeable it is when scrolling on weekdays vs weekends. I don’t remember sensing that on Twitter, but I also spend way more time on Nostr than I did on Twitter. I wonder if that difference changes as the network grows and there are more users, or if it’s perhaps another effect of not having algorithms.
Are you calling us "normal"!?
The entire internet has both a circadian cycle and weekly cycle.
If you ever see the traffic of a large site as a histogram, you can always easily see the Pacific Ocean in the data, also the Atlantic Ocean on closer inspection.
I always find these things satisfying when you notice them.
It’s very interesting to notice it. I never really noticed it on Twitter, but I also spend more time on here than I did there so maybe that’s the difference. I also wonder if lack of an algorithmic feed makes it more apparent.
Almost like spreading fun and love is the answer. 🤙🫂
At the moment #nostr is my connection to people. Yeah there’s work and my family but friends are hard to find as I get older. I’m not a dev and don’t understand what y’all are taking about sometimes, but I enjoy the conversations and watching y’all make amazing stuff. Y’all make me 😂 more than I thought I would. Those are some of the reasons I keep coming back to #nostr and trying clients.
Thanks for allowing a #pleb to jump into conversations and not be treated like a weirdo
🤙🏼💜🫂

Don’t be fooled by the Rock N Roll haircut.
