I think nostr suffers from the same fate as other attempts of bitcoin Twitter mass exodus, like to Mastodon. Initial enthusiasm where everyone joins and there is a short period of heavy usage and engagement. Then people figure out how to cross post from Twitter and then it becomes a graveyard of mindless zombie accounts. Sad to see.
That's what Minds was like when I joined last year, but now those accounts are largely silent and a lot of authentic engagement remains.
Even if nostr gets flooded with cross posting from big X personalities, that might help solve nostr's discovery problem. People can find each other in the replies on those accounts.
