It absolutely makes sense to at least have some kind of estimate of "how many people are using this every day?" Nostr at 6,000 DAUs is a whole different thing than Nostr at 10k, 100k, or 1 million.

Nostr 's key metric is how many clients are on the protocol .. DAUs are for the platforms ( clients ) .. #Amethyst is an X competition..

Do you ever ask how many people use TCP / IP ?

If there were major competing standards for global computer networks outside of TCP/IP, and if I were concerned about the success of those alternative protocols, then yes it would be a meaningful question to ask. Even the question of "how many DAUs for the internet?" Is meaningful

DAUs on planet earth too make sense 😔

Yep, about 8 billion 😆

But there is no competing planet humans live on .. last I checked :-)

No one ever does census for entire earth .. the way we compute the total number of earthlings is by adding all the countries.. That is how #nostr should be .. add up all the platforms that support nostr .. and that includes ones like Fountain who respect nostr login ..
