I don't think we even know what the "numbers" are. Nostr.band has been frequently criticized as inaccurate. How do you even estimate how many DAUs there are here, and what direction that's trending?

Openvibe, previously Plebstr, previously Tweetoshi was a repeated attempt at creating a product for the wrong audience. It never served its purpose, even if the concept was novel at the time. Tweetoshi was a great idea for its time. They had zaps on Twitter before Nostr existed. Then they focused entirely on building a Nostr client, but it was so full of bugs that it was unusable. When Bluesky launched they pivoted to try to build a Swiss Army knife of decentral-ish protocols, but there was no appeal for it because social network users are tribal and bridging has never succeeded, not once that I can remember, and I have seen it tried for at least 15 years.
