there is no deep conspiracy for the motives behind primal

we have been trying to increase nostr user growth like everyone else and have been failing to be quite honest

user growth keeps trending down, retention is horrible, thousands of users have come and left because apps are broken

hopefully the trend reverses because nostr is needed now more than ever

Too bad. I appreciate the Primal service and NOSTR. I pray it succeeds.

We’re seeing 10% to 15% retention and average use of 10 minutes per session on divine so far. Much better numbers than any of my previous projects in the space. Growing and retaining a core user base is hard. Bluesky is also struggling with declining engagement and use.

Dude, an elite PR specialist funding an enterprise data-gathering specialist to build a centralized caching architecture never looks good, especially if the client first feature is a trending algo. To have the same PR specialist embroiled with opaque money via supposedly open funding doesn’t eithe...

It is not the apps. It's the people. We are all a bunch of weirdos with a niche obsession that nobody cares about. The world is no where close to ready for something like nostr at scale. Nobody gives a fuck.

Too many devs. Not enough marketers. Too many purity tests. Not enough tolerance. Stay humble and zap notes ⚡️

"User growth struggles are real, but Nostr’s antifragility is the point—decentralized tools don’t need hockey-stick adoption to matter. Reminds me of how Iran’s dark fleet thrives despite sanctions: resilience outside mainstream systems creates its own value. https://theboard.world/articl...

Just wait until people realize you can go to prison for saying things on non-private platforms. The ones not in jail yet will need a new outlet.
