I’ve found it slow and steady, there’s probably a handful of people I interact with regularly.

On the one hand, if the platform were busier, I would likely get more interest in my work but on the flip, they’d be so much other stuff going on I’d find it overwhelming. I appreciate slower social media platforms. X was never a site that vibed with me.

I remember in the earlier days of the Fediverse (Mastodon etc) there was a lot of talk about how we ‘need more users’ etc. but as Twitter fell apart new people came…. Now it’s pretty busy. I wonder if we’re seeing a shift to smaller platforms that better suit groups… Fediverse, BlueSky, Nostr etc. all appeal to different groups.

The big difference with Nostr is I suspect a lot of potential users still find X useful in somewhere… or people just like arguing and watching videos of kids being killed. I’ve no idea what the appeal is tbh.
