Go deeper though, why would I engage with someone who doesn't validate my presence? That's literally what simping is. It's the opposite of having conversations. Conversations go back-and-forth, like we're doing, now, and everyone's statement is at least acknowledged, even if you disagree with it.

That used to be what Nostr was like. It's usually just influencers stuff, now. One-way speech. Like, that note coulda been a newsletter.
