Based on feedback from @melvincarvalho, here's perhaps a better comparison:

I ran out of free lines, so it's missing ActivityPub/Mastodon (although it surprisingly only had 1.2k stars)

looks like mastodon/mastodon actually has 47k stars - so will need to add

Is it really fair to compare?
One is bitcoin, the other is a social media platform.

Fair - although I see Nostr as far more than a social media protocol. I see it as a new identity/meta-data layer on which to build all Internet applications. And I still think the comparison to BTC is interesting in terms of an open source project gaining developer interest.
But perhaps the new chart above is more instructive.

nostr is a protocol, social media platforms have been one of the first use cases. You under evaluate its potential to be much more than that… we don’t even know yet
