I'm at 1.9k. mostly the same 2 dozen of people who engages too but there's a lot of lurkers.
Tho Reaching 20k doesn't seem like a possibility to me within this decade. I have no idea how so many people reached that already. Even if we were to learn 3/4 are bots 5k following is still impressive from my perspective.
Compare the numbers with those on npub.world it removes a lot of the bots from follow counts.
I go from over 4k to closer to 3k.
It's probably a combo of bots, and dead npubs who left or lost their keys.
Yeah according to that I have around 800. My old npub has 1700.
I'm sure out of my theoretical 3k a good chunk are dead keys too. A lot of people drop off Nostr after a short time. I regularly interact with far less than that. Dozens of us! 😂
