Nostr is a graveyard:'(

why?

Super quiet atm? No? Not sure I've seen it this quiet before. Maybe I just look at the wrong time

oh, you just haven't experienced the nostr algorithm yet

Switch to Global. Nostr is thriving 🌻

Still won't load for me

It comes and goes. Usually quiet on weekends.

Build it and they will come, my ass. 🥴

Nope. We've all noticed the lull.

They're in Madiera, working on eCash stuff. Because everyone only follows a handful of people, when those people are gone, so are their entire audience. Ultra-concentrated follows. 😢

feels like there's also a fair amount of regular posters who have stopped being regular, and the irregular posters have stopped altogether. But also I'm looking at nostr less, and mostly on uk-time nostr, which may make it even quieter for me. It's possible it could be good for nostr in the longterm, better to have a slow and quiet feed for the refresh it may need? out of the bitcointwitter2 reputation. Who knows

Yeah, lots of people I've whitelisted on the relay have gone AWOL. Been debating removing them. You aren't imagining the drop. It's been dramatic.

I'm here to see if nostr will become a thing or not. That is the real drama here. So I will be the last user lol

It will, but I'm not sure if this microblogging stuff is going to be The Thing. Seems like overengineering, if all you want to do is post GM notes or pictures of your tits or your dinner. 😂 But the keys and the relays and the intermediated P2P communication solves some complex technological problems very elegantly, so the protocol has a niche to fill. I see Nostr's next move to replacing Telegram, Medium, and Slack, not Twitter.

Yes, nostr microblogging has always been the waiting room and recruitment funnel for betatesters from bitcointwitter to test Other Stuff. We're twiddling our canary thumbs waiting.

I've always been told I'm "irregular" so....
