 Almost every human npub on Nostr is a lurker.

 Wat. 
 That's typical for social media. 90% on Twitter are lurkers. Only really 2% drive the entire convo. 
 Meh I hang out with the active ones 
 Yeah, I'm just saying. There aren't that many active ones, so you can have an npub with a few hundred followers and the replies are as lively, as with a few thousand.

It's "only" reactions and zaps that go down, and that only for the really gigantic npubs. I wasn't getting many of those, to begin with. 
 Yah I have reactions disabled anyways so I can’t see those, and really judge “engagement” via zaps and comments. 

Nostr still pretty dead overall, but most of the active people are legit rad (minus the #nostrati shills) 
 Yeah, it's fun here. 
 The reactions to my notes could hardly be described as "lively" but it's my own fault, I don't post "GM". 
 I only post GM along with something really edgy. 😅  Then everyone is afraid to respond with a "GM".

Breaking GM protocol. Question everything. Rebel life. 
 Not me 
 👀 
 bots 
 Nah, I specified "human". Bots can't lurk. 
 they can stalk you
