the real reason why #nostr #adoption is slow is because in order to enjoy nostr, for the most part, you have to be an active participant

that means nostr inherently has DAU numbers at 10% of typical (if you can believe the self reported numbers) daily user activity

the rest of the social networks wish they were as engaged per user as we are here... i'd say here there is about half the typical lurker count, because of all the bumps and scratches you have to get to be part of this community

it also makes us a lot more intransigent, nostr adoption has lindy, unlike most silo social networks... the longer you are here the less you want to be anywhere else, and the same goes for the people who follow and interact with you...

authenticity is a metric that is hard to quantify except by the stubbornness of the active users to leave the longer they are here and the lack of appeal of the TV channels called X, Threads, Bluesky, Fartcaster, Farcebook, and the rest

quoting nevent1q…q2v6

most of them just want to watch a show. like 90% of "users" their opinion doesn't matter because they don't express it, and mostly, don't have one
