I’ve been using #Nostr, on and off, since the nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 app was first launched as a test flight app. I’ve come and gone from Nostr, seeing a couple of upticks in momentum, which have then faded. This latest uptick in users and activity feels different. It feels as though we’re hitting new heights of adoption and use that won’t fizzle out. It’s up to all of us though to make that happen.

For my part, I’m going to continue to allocate more of my time to communicating via Nostr as opposed to X, Facebook, etc — which, yes, I will also continue to use for now. I hope others on here will do the same and we enter 2025 with exponential growth of Nostr use. Let’s go!

definitely feels like a large wave, we'll see how far it goes this time

Spot on. It only works if people "like, comment, and subscribe" so to speak. One of the things that Nostr clients (and even the power users) do poorly is getting newcomers to feel like they aren't isolated.

They will just tell them to follow more people but if some of those follows don't interact, they will just head back to Twatter, Insta, etc. The big names need to get out of their cliques and help amplify small voices more.

Couldn’t agree more!!

Same story for myself. Twitter just so sticky but finding more and that I’m using it without intention leading to scrolling and being served by the algorithm hot garbage 24/7.

Here’s to more Nostr usage 🙏🏼

Why are you staying on these centralize platforms? What’s holding you back??
