So, by my estimate (naive one) Nostr has lost about 50% of eyeballs since April of this year. Will be interesting to see if it’s seasonal or a trend 🤔

Yeah, but only the annoying and stupid ones.
Probably 90% of the loss can be attributed to it for sure
How many of those 50% were legit users, not just bots?
Let me go to the lost and found to see if I can get them back.
I was looking at metrics for legitimate users only, not bots
I imagine the gay porn attack was too confronting for many.
Makes sense, and clients don’t want to “censor” anything, therefore we are at stalemate
But law of large numbers equals normal distribution ;) says every social media company that embraces dodgy analytics for market capitalisation and share price manipulation
lol
it was really bad. I asked myself if this would be it for me.
I haven’t been here myself as much recently as I’ve been busy with work and day to day life.. but it has definitely felt a lot quieter lately.
Not good. Also not surprising. sigh
From my experience on using nostr I would guess that 90% of those eyeballs were actually bot accounts.
Because the only difference I've noticed recently is less bots.
A LOT less bots.
Exactly
I think this is just what happens with real people, it ebbs and flows. And the self important people don't like to recognize that they aren't really a big deal as the algorithm makes them.
i dont need an algorithm to know im not a big deal 😂
Samesies 😆
Maybe people got tired of winning.
I'm reminded of that fatboy slim song

That seems accurate based on my observations.
I did not see any gay porn during the gay porn attack.
I seen a lot of people complaining and making jokes about it but never actually witnessed it for myself for some reason
Hello darkness my old friend
Where did you gather this data from?
I am curious to see if there was a spike this week:
Depends upon which relays you use. I also didn't see it.
Frankly I feel the percentage is much smaller
It's a relay issue, primarily. Those of us using better relays never see this stuff. We just see people whining about it, in the threads.
I noticed that people on our relay whined about it, less, and they all seem to still be here. At least, the active posters.
Our clients are uncompromising. We now only use our own selection of trusted relays as inboxes, as we can find everyone with them, and it saves us all a support headache. I pull the user relay lists for outboxes, only.
People who don't like that can use a different client or add in their local relays, and stream notes in over that.
Tired of building nice things and users freaking out because they're too lazy or cheap to switch the relays.
Same there with the other new social media platforms (protocols)
I started posting on Nostr around April of this year😬
You were this many days old when you realized that I have no control over what other client devs do. I am not the problem, here. Nobody is seeing spam of any kind on any client or relay I control.
And I am not a Nostr pro. I am not paid a single sat to do any of this.
