Stop Comparing Nostr to X
X is flooded with bot farms, scammers, and fake profiles. If you magically removed them, you’d be left with maybe 30% real users—barely more than Nostr.
Nostr is growing slowly, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful: the growth is organic. It has massive engagement—arguably more than any social platform except maybe Facebook. And to be fair, Facebook got a lot right.
People hoping Nostr becomes “as big as X” are chasing fake metrics from a fake internet. Most real people don’t even use X or traditional social media anymore. Deep down, they know it’s all noise and a waste of time.
The truth is, most of the internet is fake. Regular people just use it for essentials and avoid the social media circus.
If we want everyday people to give social media a second chance through Nostr, we need to protect its integrity.
Bots and fake profiles are already creeping into Nostr. If that’s not stopped now, Nostr will turn into the same trash heap X has become.
And stop thinking like a socialist—wanting everything to be free on Nostr just so the average person can join.
Nostr is not for freeloaders.
Think like a capitalist. If something has real value, it shouldn’t be given away for free just to attract the masses.
Nostr is for builders, thinkers and those who value freedom.. and for those who invest, contribute, and build value.
Nostr is for us. The real people.
