It is an acknowledgment—a reality check. Hopefully, people will see this and become more active moving forward, regardless of Bitcoin's valuation. Nostr is more important than Bitcoin, and we cannot afford to let it slip by the wayside.

Self-fulfilling. Up to us in which direction…
well, trolling us with the broken chart and grow nostr hashtag, that'll help 😂 le sigh.
It’s self defeating honestly. If we were smart we’d delete this chart shit and focus on positive vibes. These kinds of notes help no one.
i think we should do a bounty for nostr:nprofile1qqsrx4k7vxeev3unrn5ty9qt9w4cxlsgzrqw752mh6fduqjgqs9chhgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekk7mf0mpwca6 to delete the chart.. im so sick of it
I agree. I asked him if he’d consider doing that
No keep it! Its a strong nostr psyop barrier. Keeps leechers out 💪
I tried getting him to remove the relays listed twice, once with trailing "/", once without, but that was months ago. 🤷♀️
But, I think we can all feel the general trend.
the trend is isolated to each of our views of nostr.. personally, mine seems to have grown i get way more engagement than i did a year ago, and im not even on blast..
so, while nostr ebbs and flows, so does the ocean.
I can start a bot army if these numbers are that important to you. #nostr is a niche and it stays a niche cause it can't deliver the value of a public social network. Don't care 😑
Getting absolute numbers might be quite difficult in a decentralized network, but I still think it would be good to have estimates of growth. If we are plateauing we should know about it, and investigate the reasons for it. You mention that nostr can't deliver the value of a social network, what do you mean by that?
Who is "we"? You and your friends or is it the people you don't know and can't reach cause they use their private relays?
"We" is all of #nostr
Then why should I care if nostr is plateauing? My friends are still here, and they don't care about plateaus 😁 Free yourself from central metrics.
I care because of Metcalfe's law, and I care because I want more/most people to use non-captured networks. That's why I think diagnosing stagnant growth (and identifying bottlenecks) is important. But I'm glad you're satisfied with #nostr as it is.
