 Yeah, mild improvement over a couple of months. Bitcoin actually solved a problem (buying drugs and child porn). Nostr is a solution searching for a problem. You know it's true cause you still use Twitter. 

The 2 features of Nostr that get brought up are 1) censorship resistance 2) owning your content / social interactions. 1) fails cause there aren't enough users especially outside the bitcoin circlejerk. 2) doesn't matter, cause you can manually sign your posts 

Mastodon made the same mistakes. It copied the format, and thus blindly inherited the same drawbacks of Twitter: recency bias, and echo chambers. Letr may fix that, but honestly I'd much prefer an audio based version of it.
