so, now that i can see nostr, bluesky :bluesky: and farcaster 💨 events streaming alongside each other i can make a couple of observations

bluesky is clearly the most active of the three, its outnumber nostr about 3:1 and farcaster 2:1

most of the events on farcaster are likes, and the actual posts themselves, looks like mostly vietnamese, korean, english and russian in about that order of relative frequency, and of the ones in english, 3 out of 4 refer to cryptocurrency in some way, probably it's not so different in the other languages too though it sorta seems like maybe the vietnamese actually have conversations about somethin else than crypto (i didn't bother to translate them, just the lack of crypto dogwhistle words which are probably rendered in english as they are in most languages)

farcaster is definitely primarily a firehose of crypto pump chatter, and very little actual social

bluesky is a lot more varied, sorta similar breakdown in content to what you see on mastodon, probably similar people and probably a lot of overlap between them

nostr has the highest ratio of actual social content and the subject matter is highly varied, though yes bitcoin pops up a lot... definitely nostriches write more original content

mostly anecdotal observations of course, i'm not gonna write a frickin academic paper and do analytics on it, that's just what has caught my eye
