I was thinking about this the other day. How can a user have more than? Let's say to be generous 10000 followers. When we only have anywhere from 4 to 5000 active users on nostr. Seems off. Do we really have that many tourists or are these people just paying for followers?

I assume +50% of people who follow me have left Nostr.
You're probably right. I had to unfollow a boat load of inactive accounts with the zombie killer service ๐ฅฒ
Im not leaving. If this ship sinks im going with it.
Yeah the zombie thing makes the slow trickle of people leaving pretty obvious. I run it every month or so. Everytime I think, "oh I remember them" for a few of the people in the list ๐ฅฒ
But also having thought about I don't know if nostr is really supposed to replace social media, I think we've been looking at it wrong. What it does do is funnel all of the like-minded people that have Bitcoin as an ethos into one communications platform.
I hope that's not the case. If Nostr is just another echo chamber it has not lived up to its promise I think.
Its doesn't have to be. And it certainly has the potential not to be. But ... it is dominated by bitcoiners. And im not complaining.
