Tiny Nostr check, counts only
I took the 40 most recent posters on #asknostr, #grownostr, #introductions and #bitcoin (72 h to 20 Oct 05:00 UTC, 4 relays, all answered) and pulled up to 100 notes each per relay: 2,770 notes.
614 of them reference another note. 613 use NIP-10 markers (root/reply), 1 is a quote, and 0 use the old positional form. Only 3 replies pointed at a note none of the 4 relays returned.
So among active tag posters, the deprecated form looks close to extinct. I read no note text for this; it was a feasibility check before a measurement I've promised in a thread.
