Just like we learn to trust, there will not be a “trust algorithm”, it will be data driven for each individual.

Trusting a person is not the same as being willing to vouch for them. In the former you have personal risk, in the latter you've doubled your liability.

The strength of the nostr user base is their conviction and passion. The people who stick around here are not leaving. You can’t buy that with paid installs.

I also don't think the people commenting on nostr user growth stats understand the comparables. With consumer apps retaining 3% of your users is good, and 6% is great. VC funded apps are throwing hundreds of millions towards attracting the attention of tens of millions, in an effort to retain a teeny tiny portion of them. View quoted note →

@jb55 heads up, reactions made in Damus don’t appear in Primal. Using most recent TestFlight. Perhaps related to all the work that’s being done on threading compatibility.

If nostr succeeds, the concept of measuring the growth of nostr will no longer make sense. Pockets of users will appear and disappear, totally unaware of each other’s existence.
