I moved the 1-hour trending topics to the top on Primal, and it's much better now. But this content recommendation system should be like those on other networks.
@Shosho โ Live Stream on Nostr I tried Shosho today. I think it's extremely good and has potential for improvement. Especially, TikTok Live features could be added. Bitcoin Zap rewards and animations could be created.
Nostr could be a place where decentralization unites the entire world. We have many programmers who can make this happen.
But these apps need to generate revenue. We can't do that without an economy.
So, are Farcaster users Ethereum people now, and Nostr users Bitcoin people?
Actually, for now, it would have been better if they joined forces and strengthened the same place.
Decentralization is fine. But sometimes being a bit centralized isnโt so bad either ๐
(Twitter) monthly active users by year, from 54M in 2010 all the way up to 611M in 2025. (X)
Notable moments:
2013 โ Yahoo acquisition era; ~241M users
2018โ2019 โ Growth stalled around 321โ330M
2022 โ Elon Musk takeover; ~401M
2023 โ Big jump to 450M post-acquisition changes
2025 โ ~600โ611M MAU, a ~7% increase from 2024
All the Nostr apps I've used so far have had a lot of problems for normal users. TikTok, Twitter, and BlueSky are easy to use without friction, but that's not the case with Nostr right now.
