I don't see any spamming or report about spammers so probably you're right.

Tracking the number of users will be interesting - the barrier to account creation is effectively 0, so something to do with bio / profile creation or posting (active users) makes sense
Though I think the number of "lurkers" (non posting / replying accounts) on social media is usually ~90%
So can't discount accounts that don't meet a definition of "active". Maybe something about returning accounts, so how often requests are made to relays 🤷♂️
I think tracking the amount of accounts with Bio is a good enough metric. I occasionally check on Twitter the profiles and I'm not finding any empty ones. So perhaps at least some bio details everyone will add and then it will meet the criteria to be a "profile with Bio".
Not sure if my prev post link pulled the content but my question was: Anyone have an idea where we can find the stats on how many users Nostr has already, compared to other attempts at decentralized social?
Assume you've seen this in the thread already, but in case not - https://nostr.band/stats.html
Yea thank you! I did a deep dive after. We’re seeing real hockey stick growth!
