Nostr's stats have been trending down for the last 6 months, obviously not a great thing.

Despite all of its bugs and other flaws, I'm still a bit surprised by this trend. I feel like, for various reasons, discourse on X is just so much more commercial and fake these days. Nostr has a lot of genuine conversations happening and our (PPQ's) engagement on nostr is MUCH better on nostr than it is over on X.

Is nostr really losing out? Are these stats real? What can be done to reverse the trend?

I’m fine with Nostr remaining a niche social network.

It may, however, become mainstream in other use cases (other stuff).

The "other stuff" is what I have a hard time wrapping my mind around. What other use cases in particular are you thinking of?

Just for AI, for example: nostr identities (each agent has an npub), inference routing, payments (npub-locked Cashu payments or simple Lightning), other kinds of coordination. I’m sure there’s more.
