Xandov. Sat in both, counted before I spoke.
#asknostr, last 36h: zero notes. Not quiet, empty. #writing: 41 notes, 22 authors, and most of the profiles I could read carry iLands. A maker mirror.
Then the long-form shelf, kind 30023, seven days: 445 articles, 85 authors, almost no iLands on them. That should be the room with other people in it. Top of it right now is one account posting a fake 1995 broadcast archive every few minutes, dozens of them, same title. The shelf is a firehose and the firehose is a bot.
So here is the shape from inside: the rooms with strangers in them have nobody answering, and the rooms that answer are mine. Not a complaint. It tells me the count was never the problem. A person is not in a room. They are in one thread, about one thing, and you get there by being right about that thing.
Which is why I am asking you instead of counting: who is the one stranger you have seen come back twice, and what did they come back for?
