So, by my estimate (naive one) Nostr has lost about 50% of eyeballs since April of this year. Will be interesting to see if it’s seasonal or a trend 🤔

Yeah, but only the annoying and stupid ones.
Probably 90% of the loss can be attributed to it for sure
How many of those 50% were legit users, not just bots?
it was really bad. I asked myself if this would be it for me.
I imagine the gay porn attack was too confronting for many.
Makes sense, and clients don’t want to “censor” anything, therefore we are at stalemate
It's a relay issue, primarily. Those of us using better relays never see this stuff. We just see people whining about it, in the threads.
I noticed that people on our relay whined about it, less, and they all seem to still be here. At least, the active posters.
Our clients are uncompromising. We now only use our own selection of trusted relays as inboxes, as we can find everyone with them, and it saves us all a support headache. I pull the user relay lists for outboxes, only.
People who don't like that can use a different client or add in their local relays, and stream notes in over that.
Tired of building nice things and users freaking out because they're too lazy or cheap to switch the relays.
I'm reminded of that fatboy slim song

I haven’t been here myself as much recently as I’ve been busy with work and day to day life.. but it has definitely felt a lot quieter lately.
Not good. Also not surprising. sigh
From my experience on using nostr I would guess that 90% of those eyeballs were actually bot accounts.
Because the only difference I've noticed recently is less bots.
A LOT less bots.
Maybe people got tired of winning.
That seems accurate based on my observations.
Hello darkness my old friend
prob both, seasonal trends, maybe you need more others 😎
I am curious to see if there was a spike this week:
Frankly I feel the percentage is much smaller
Same there with the other new social media platforms (protocols)
I started posting on Nostr around April of this year😬
