Hit a fun milestone today and wanted to look at the data. 📈
Not long ago, I restarted my activity here with 85 followers. Today, I just crossed 112 followers!
- Net growth: +27 followers
- Percentage jump: A clean +32% growth in a very short window.
What's coolest to me is how this happened. I didn't chase trends; I just started sharing real-life personal and work-related content. From celebrating birthdays and sharing casual daily thoughts, to logging my real-time testing experiences with protocol plumbing—just authentic, unfiltered reality.
For perspective, when I walked away from Facebook, I left behind a legacy network of 929 friends. To equal that footprint natively, I need 817 more followers here.
But let’s be real about network value: 1 Nostr follower easily equals 10 Facebook friends.
On legacy platforms, numbers are inflated by passive, algorithmic feeds and casual acquaintances. Here, connections are sovereign, intentional, and driven by high-signal protocol alignment. Building a network of 112 engaged peers who value open-source plumbing and authentic human interaction beats a lifetime of 929 algorithmic "friends" any day of the week.
Thank you to everyone zapping, replying, and sharing the journey. Let’s keep building. ⚡️🦾🚀 #Nostr #Growth #Value
