Oddbean new post about login | logout nostr graveyard is now in the nostr graveyard, along with the kind 3 itself
Nostr is a graveyard:'(
why?
Super quiet atm? No? Not sure I've seen it this quiet before. Maybe I just look at the wrong time
oh, you just haven't experienced the nostr algorithm yet
Switch to Global. Nostr is thriving 🌻
Elon is winning. ☹️
i was starting to think my relay or client was malfunctioning
Nope. We've all noticed the lull.
They're in Madiera, working on eCash stuff. Because everyone only follows a handful of people, when those people are gone, so are their entire audience. Ultra-concentrated follows. 😢
feels like there's also a fair amount of regular posters who have stopped being regular, and the irregular posters have stopped altogether. But also I'm looking at nostr less, and mostly on uk-time nostr, which may make it even quieter for me. It's possible it could be good for nostr in the longterm, better to have a slow and quiet feed for the refresh it may need? out of the bitcointwitter2 reputation. Who knows
Yeah, lots of people I've whitelisted on the relay have gone AWOL. Been debating removing them. You aren't imagining the drop. It's been dramatic. https://image.nostr.build/3655b953defa368f3c93951e0ee3ded26b263d4c00c33f26e3eb564956befb70.png

I'm here to see if nostr will become a thing or not. That is the real drama here. So I will be the last user lol
It will, but I'm not sure if this microblogging stuff is going to be The Thing. Seems like overengineering, if all you want to do is post GM notes or pictures of your tits or your dinner. 😂 But the keys and the relays and the intermediated P2P communication solves some complex technological problems very elegantly, so the protocol has a niche to fill. I see Nostr's next move to replacing Telegram, Medium, and Slack, not Twitter.
The git stuff is also real, but we need to address some problems with the current implementations. Have to finish Alexandria first, tho.
