 There are many users who are not used to posting, they like to read. They may not post for several months. They just like nostr and they are paying attention to the future of #nostr . They will always like the posts they like. Don't ignore them, they are also active users. 🪽💜🪽
 
 It is much better to decide to be silent than to be on corporate controlled platforms where we are so often silenced. 
 💯 
 Damn, I'm so touched! 

If you look at the likes and zap accounts in this post, many of them haven't posted for a long time. But they are reading, liking, forwarding, zap using Nostr, they like Nostr. Support Nostr in their own way. This is the most solid foundation for Nostr's success.

 I would zap even more if IOS would allow me to… a reason for me to move apart from apple. 
 You can try Freerse iOS app. Just link your Alby account and you can zap the posts and people you like. I zap you on Freerse.

 oh thanks a lot freerse looks great. I haven’t  used alby so far. But I will definitely set it up.  
 You can also link other NWC wallets. Mutiny and Cashu. 
 "A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool, because he has to say something." 
 Awoo-hoo. To the point 🎯

 If there are no fools, there is no wise man, only a lonesome man’s words. 
 Just learning and giving sats, it will come the day I'll share something usefull too 
 Absolutely 🫂💜 
 Silence is compliance. 

Participate or watch freedom die. Likes don’t make the world turn, work does. Put in the work, speak truths, or lose your freedom to do so. 
 Everyone has their own way of supporting. When you are fighting, a group of angry fighters with weapons standing behind you is the greatest support. Although they don't shout, their actions speak louder than anything. 

Snipers and missile launches on the battlefield do not need to shout. 
 The fighters are there weapon in hand standing ready to fight.

The sniper has already shot someone from a location unknown. The missile launcher has launched a weapon that struck a target.

The platform is one of notes, conversations, speech, videos, art, music, content. 

The weapon on this battle field is free speech, staying silent does nothing. 
 Speaking less does not mean being silent. Freedom of speech does not require everyone to speak all the time. Freedom of speech means that no one can stop you from speaking when you want to. This is the true value of nostr. 

As long as they join and use nostr, they are the biggest supporters of nostr. If you observe carefully, you will find these users who rarely post. Many of them are snipers and missile launchers 🚀. 

In any case, nostr is growing 🤙 
 Like is an event on Nostr. Kind 7 event to be precise. If measuring latest activity those should be automatically included. If you like, or zap, or boost you are an active user.  
 yup. If the user is just reading, it is not counted in the event. 
 This it true for me.  I occasionally post, but mostly spend my time reading other posts.  I love Nostr. 
 That's it 🫂💜 
 Same here. Happy zappy  
 enjoy 🤙 
 Yes! I am one of those. I seldom actually post anything.  I very much enjoy reading as many posts (in english) that I can.  Spend too much time doing so, in fact.  I also zap a lot!  I appreciate the more technical posts, as well as the human-interest stuff. However, the rate of 'break and improve' is daunting, but ultimately appreciated. Keep developing, please. 
 keep building 🫂 
 we are learning from masters, sitting  silent and trying to understand 
 💜🤙 
 I comment occasionally because there are almost always details and the devil is in the details. I am also thankful when I discover I'm wrong about something

 zactly 
 indeed 🤙 
 Guilty of reading 95+% of the time. To be able to be exposed to free minds and ideas is truly remarkable. If I have something specific to say, I’ll post. Otherwise, I enjoy signal rather than noise. Quality post, Sir 🫡

 Enjoy nostr the way you like it. 🫂💜

 Sometimes people want to support each other without exception. Like fan of a popular singer or actor. They just show their favourites with supporting 🫂💜 
 yeah 🫂💜 
 Are you talking about me? I don't post notes often either. haha   
 You are still an active creator. 😉

I see a lot of people who like this who haven't posted in a year. They read.

 I'm active daily but am indeed more of a reader and a reply guy. I would post more often but I'll wait till I have more followers by interacting. Otherwise I'm just speaking into the void. 
 Followed 🤙 
 🙄 
 90% of the time I like to just read them 😌 
 That’s me! 
 Amazing! You are definitely. You only posted once in a year, but you are an active user. This time I really saw that many of the accounts that commented and liked this post were silently following nostr. Lurking ninja 🥷 is full of undercurrent power. 🫡 
 I can't zap you, it shows you don't have a lightning wallet address. 
 🙋‍♂️ Plus random articles from online I stumble upon.💜 
 Likers are included in 30k wau 
 Yes, at that time, many users felt there couldn't be 30K WAU because they didn't notice that many posts. Many users were just reading and liking posts. 

May I ask, do users who only log in to read without reposting, liking, zapping, or commenting, but only reading, count towards the 30K WAU? 
 There is no way to count those who don't post any events 
 yup thanks 🤙
