One of the great mysteries of Nostr is how I regularly manage to trend, despite half of Nostr muting me and the other half considering it, not being rich, famous, or a grant-recipient, not being young or single or a stripper, and having a relatively small number of followers that hasn't noticeably budged in over a year.
This may sound sort of crazy, but I think I have discovered a social media edge case called:
Occasionally Posting Something Interesting
You're not famous?
I heard that I'm big in Japanstr.
But, fr, most of my stuff is seen by like 4 npubs, and those are my alts and testers. 😂

Maybe it has something to do with the quality of your posts.
My honest take: seems to me that you're a 100% woman who thinks and talks like a man. Both alluring and terrifying to men.
(I hope that's not offensive, not intended to be.)
have you checked this is not a dude?
I'm 💯 male. Just ask my kids.
how do i know who you are for real? i'm a novice on NOSTR, is there some kind of verification system?
You're right to be skeptical on the 'net. Nostr doesn't have any verification per se, most folks here are rather anti-KYC and privacy-centric. One thing nostr stives for is "web of trust" or WoT. There's no official definition of it, but basically it's people who have been around, interacted, maybe know others in real life, offer value, etc. There's no standard, but I like the coracle.social use of it. If you got to https://coracle.social and login, you see a circle by your name a hover over to see a WoT trust. I see you have a WoT of 1, which makes sense because you're new and that's fine. Stick around, interact, ask questions, etc, it'll rise. That score gives a simple, but imperfect, glance at a user. (Still doesn't tell you m/f though!)
