I have a lot of people that follow me. I have plenty of pain points, just like you do. Nostr has issues for everyone. What do you think I am not understanding or missing? I

You're one of the only ones who has a clue. 😂

it's also interesting that it prompted a response

I strive to be a voice for the plebs that cannot be heard and try to make them heard 🫂

i am here to make people see into the darkness and realise the light that they didn't see

so i also respond for similar but different reasons

i'm not a big account, i actively offend my followers because i don't care about their fawning i'm here for the advancement of collective understanding

The new thing is asking why it matters how many followers you have.

It's like...

Go to the trendlists.

Go to the wikis.

Go to the git clients.

Go to the article readers.

Go to the search fields.

Go to...

Whose stuff do you see, everywhere?

You see my stuff, right?

Why do you think you see it?

Thank you for playing.

the new thing is being provocative

turns out that saying no and disagreeing is the new agreeing and saying yes

I support the new thing.

tension = retention... and the algo gets the bad rep, right?

idk but it's a new kind of warfare

Anything novel is provocative and upsetting to someone (usually most people, as humans eschew change).

Sometimes I formulate things mildly, sometimes I agitate, but it makes no tangible difference. People who are ready for a message accept it regardless off the tone, and people who aren't, don't.

Yes, I've been consciously testing that. 😂

Thank you 🫂😂 I try to make it my mission to understand all of the pain points that people have so that we can improve and grow Nostr.

But generally

1) Why npubs boost their own notes, including replies.

2) Why npubs care about follower count.

3) The importance of seemingly pointless rituals, like GM notes or hellthreads.

4) How trendlists work.

5) Dealing with harrassment.

6) Trying to start off a new npub, when you don't know anyone here and have a WoT score of 0.

7) How quickly new npubs become discouraged by negative feedback.

8) The importance of relay management.

Fire list. I'll start adding these to my how do Nostr notes.

GN! PV! 🤙

WoT score?

Web of Trust

Is that a figure of speech or there's an actual score?

Coracle show this (it's playing up a bit atm tho lol)

A lot of the other's have it, now, too, or the relays use it, or people just only look at notes from their follows.

nostr:npub1cgcwm56v5hyrrzl5ty4vq4kdud63n5u4czgycdl2r3jshzk55ufqe52ndy things to consider idk if they are entirely applicable to what you are working on tho 💜

Not really... I'm just making a guide on how to use amethyst. If it's not a total flop, maybe I'll try some other guides too but that is yet to be seen

Make sure you put it in the wiki!

Wiki? Do I post to that??

It's a specific kind of article, so no.

For research papers? For developer? What kind?

I mean "kind" literally. As in, "kind" of article event. It has a different identifying number embedded in the underlying json file.

Pfft! Lol, gotcha!

What’s point 7 about?

How some bigger, older npubs attack newer, smaller npubs, and sic their cronies on them.

Damn, I need to pay more attention, I have no idea this is a thing

I call them pile-on mobs.

it's a property of the pubsub social architecture

Sadly, a lot of people like to just support the OP and are afraid to be an individual.

😂 Well, there's a pile-on under way on me, so yay.

😂

OMG, really??? I was not aware

what do you mean relay management 👀

Adjusting which relays you use in the client settings or on metadata.nostr.com

wss://relay.poster.place - only relay you need, relay bouncer
