This is actually my old dev npub, so it's less of a direct switch.

I thought you wanted old followers to follow you again? Or you were just looking at the different experiences between the two
Some of them were actually already following this one because it's the one that I use for git stuff.
I wanted to give people the active choice to follow me. I was increasingly being followed by people that don't like me.
And it's a bit of an experiment. Nostr is different, when you're a nobody.
You know what I mean? People were starting to follow me because other people follow me, so my mentions were increasingly people bitching about me.
Or people would just respond to "be seen" and not out of personal interest.
They answer just to be seen? People have time to waste
Also following someone because you dont like them is weird. What’s the point? Like trolls you mean?
Sort of. People feel social pressure to follow well-known personas, but it grates on them, so they whine.
And lots of people just go down the trending list every day and leave a comment on each one. If they don't like you, they leave a nasty comment.
