Well, I know I personally am interacting on Nostr more. I just can't with Twitter anymore. I'm leaning into my alternative methods to get the news I want. And Nostr is fulfilling my social media fix.

I'm seeing a return of people, like yourself, but I can't believe the stars were this low. I'm wondering if they had a data problem or if we just had purple colored lenses.
Most Nostr users game from a Bitcoin source, which typically means they already had niche interests. The number of real users is still probably decently under 6 figure (real daily activity)
