Hope you don't mind, but I think I'll use this thread to vent, too.
Re: using Primal
I don't know happened, but Primal desktop and mobile are no longer in sync. Even inputting my NIP-O5 ID doesn't restore my profile on the desktop version. It'll show a few of the people I'm following, but not all of them. My desktop profile is a blank canvass. As if I were starting from scratch - no avatar, no profile banner, no notes.
I absolutely don't mind!
I thought ~nostr is just already dead, lol ...
So please, I want to hear all nostr horror stories, lol :)

Well, according to this site, there's been a dramatic drop of active daily users very recently.
A decentralized, censorship resistant, communication protocol doesn't have mainstream appeal in and of itself. I don't think it's going to catch on till the digital ID/CBDC's start rolling out in the EU and elsewhere, and even then I'm not even sure.

i wouldn't trust such sharp drops at the end of charts.
might just be an "implementation error" where the data is not refreshed. always check next day again to make sure.
also, might just be because of upcoming christmas (buying gifts and other preparations) that people are less active on nostr because they are more stressed out now just to be less stressed out later, lol
so for me, this looks like an outlier (if it's even "real data") and not like a trend.
