Hmm, if it’s true that new people are no longer making their way here, I would suppose there’s an element here tied to the fact that the login/key process is still clunky and intimidating.

No normie is going to safely and intuitively use Nostr with the current state of the key system. But it seems a ton of people are hand waving this away or acting like it’s too hard or not important to solve. 🤔

Obvious it’s not the only thing, and there’s plenty of reasons the network cycle may be in a bear market, but I would gander that plays a meaningful part.
