Following anyone is a bad idea

Following anyone who hasn't interacted with my posts recently is a worse idea

Follow hashtags like asknostr instead

Ya, avoid interacting with any humans, just blissfully follow hashtags and bolster the numbers of the Bitcoin bros

Currently -str hashtags are needed to ensure interaction with humans, other hashtags are full of spam bots

Not sure what you mean about Bitcoin bros, nostr is full of lightning cultists

Is there a captcha preventing bots from interacting with certain hashtags?

Bitcoin bros, lightning larpers, nostr narcissists, coattail cultists... Call them whatever you want

The -str hashtags don't stop bots, they just aren't as flooded with them as the other hashtags

I think it's because devs ignore certain spam bots like Gleason's "bridges" and let them spam the rest of nostr in return for them not spamming the -str hashtags as much
