Nostr activity seems to always comes in waves. Plus, we're a hive mind. If one person says something intriguing, many others jump in on it and talk about it too 😂

Nothing is broken. IMO, Nostr engagement has been slowing down for a long while. I noticed a while ago when my engagement seemed less than it used to be. This doesn't change my mission though.

Lots of reasons IMO for less engagement.

New user retention has always been bad.
People don't like Bitcoin talk.
Bitcoin bull market, people return to Twitter.
BlueSky's growing successes.
People don't care about freedom or speech and censorship as much as they care about their ego.
