Is this a Nostr glitch? I seem to be following myself and can’t remove it.

Thank you #asknostr

Always follow yourself, no one knows you better.

Depends on the client. If you dont follow yourself, your posts dont show up in the timeline. Its been common practice for a client to "pre subscribe" yourself to yourself, but I havent tried removing myself lately

So it’s not so much a glitch as it is poor coding, gotcha. Appreciate the reply.

I was able to remove it using Damus, then I immediately uninstalled it, LMAO.

That’s a nice app, probably one of the better clients I have tested, I just wish they weren’t so blatantly capitalistic.

Youll find most things on nostr are associated with bitcoin, value-for-value and transparent incentives. Its not so much a coding problem as it is intrinsic to the protocol, and the client attempts to maximize your experience. This is the nature of protocol over platform, every client can offer a different kind of experience as can every server/relay.
