>I also suspect most people aren't nostr-only ...
I think there are more reasons. Because nostr doesn't give them enough stimulation high they need from other algo platforms that can be more predictable.
Proud to say I've never used twatter but I can imagine the desire, that and most other big-tech platforms. They leave because the overlords do something they don't like but quickly forget when things over here don't stimulate their addiction enough. That and the whole what are the odds it'll be me that gets banned or whatever risk vs. reward cycle.
I'm also a very light social user, maybe like 30 mins/day besides chatting with our team.

I think the 'people use twitter because they're addicted' can be a bit disingenuous, people on twitter also have meaningful interactions with people, there are communities there etc etc... (you know the things nostr aspires to). I'm not saying that the addiction / ragebait thing doesn't also exist, but that's not the whole picture.
I've never used Twitter either. Unless, you include clicking on links from nkstr posts to be using it. Also, I think it's a matter of ignorance, as well. Heavy centralized social media users may take a trip to nostr only to subconsciously refuse to acknowledge the realization that they don't need social media to be as big a part of their everyday lives as they imagined. It's sad, tbh. Nostr needs to have an abundance of clients in all markets if it wants to succeed.
The best thing about nostr is that it has probably made more people leave social media entirely
I still use the Fediverse loads, never been into X or whatever.
I keep going with this as technologically it’s interesting but those that have even heard of Nostr see it as right wing. I can only assume that means there’s more 0s than 1s in the code.
I just want to be loved… lol
