This seems like a sad, pessimistic take on nostr. Is it justified though? I don't follow the metrics, but while my experience here is consistent, I suppose there's people paying attention who are seeing numbers and engagement drop. That's a shame.

I'm still building and I hope the numbers grow, but despite the social layer being nostrs core, I suspect it'll be non social layer stuff which really gets the attention eventually, regardless. nostr:nevent1qqsvtseeh67zlgfm7nwvhgq03zpxe7hknr0cwkyawsxs5d0k5k8n3gcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs9avl6hmfcqrma3s3haa94c4h436skujtl44qvlht59hwhxksr8ngrqsqqqqqpyag67g
