Ratio is usually 99/1. ...with 9% of the 99% being reply guys, if the research is to be believed. https://image.nostr.build/1c15ce5ee86e5b6a5abbda2a230138c1c03c18b17e3c8d00a6a37ceabe1271e4.jpg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule
I don't lurk.
This is the rule of thumb I've always used as well. I doubt Nostr is 99/1 lurker ratio just yet (though we probably get there at scale), but lurkers are still probably the majority. What's your best guess at how many weekly active users just lurk/read? nostr:note10dnqdlnztxa4epuyfvna2nc58jjmsuccqsxq05vugqzq7y62d9cs2h4vv2
Take a look at this data, you'll be surprised nostr:note1zuwz0770wpwahwxkmfv5ex624tcmyrxg0eymssaaew6qn4nuf70qqpxkc0
I'm inclined to think we've reached a Bitcoin Twitter level of lurking. Those who talk down on Nostr's usage seem to be somewhat attuned to the conversations here but aren't necessarily "active."
