I'm sure it's no fun getting accused, and much less so that it's on this forum.
I'm ignoring until dust settles, and not even sure it's my business in the first place.
i didn't hate nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj before. i just didn't enjoy his conversations or posts.
but what he did is not ok, because i'm not some glowie spook internet scammer, and my record is quite clear on this if you just look me up. he obviously didn't bother to check it out.
you know, this is why nostr has cryptographic signatures.
if it doesn't have my pubkey in it, it didn't come from me. i haven't used a single other nsec since i made this one in october 2023.
anyone with an LLM can write text that looks and sounds like me, but says something i definitely don't agree with.
so if the signature isn't me, you ain't got shit, buddy.
have fun solving your problem. striking out at whoever seems like the person involved when you don't have my fucking signature on it is a dick move.
Discussion
I don’t think you need to care too much.
I personally find their arguments against it nonsense (no one signs a note saying they did something bad so the argument makes no sense) and everything from the data and the actions of the impersonator spam matches up with them.
But up to them, they can do whatever they want to do.
Yeah, just didn't want my nostr fren assuming I was among those picking up a torch, so figured I'd make a quick comment.
I'll stay out of it now 🤙
you don't have IP addresses (very simple to see my proxy at mleku.dev) or my home IP address.
you don't have a message signed with my pubkey
you have got a lot of people saying things about me based on your accusation which you can't substantiate. some of them even seem to be thinking that i didn't just say some stupid shit to you but also that i had anything to do with any of the spam attacks on nostr ever.
and frankly i'm tired of this fucking circus anyway
i've only been saying the whole fucking time that the "freedumb relays" model is going to lead to retarding adoption, and that's entirely turned out to be true. idk what fucking dreamworld these people live in or what experience they have on the real, wild internet but nobody builds a protocol like this without expecting it to end up being a bad experience for users.
i just want you to know that you don't go bandying around claims of people you have known for a long time engaging in malicious network and psychological manipulation behaviour without first asking directly to the person what the fuck is going on, and showing them what you saw because otherwise, you are eventually going to look like a prick
i'm done with nostr anyway because nobody except a tiny few, which mostly includes you, don't give a fuck about the users, and the protocol is dogshit anyway, because the guys who gatekeep it are not competent protocol designers.
there's other things that are more important in the world. like actually solving the problem that nostr supposedly was to solve.
it won't. the place will be a desert within the next 3 years at best, and other efforts will emerge that actually paid attention to why this shit is a dumpster fire.
and you already very well knew and have never really stopped saying that it was fucked from day one. bravo.
i hope you learn something from this but i really don't care for my own sake because i've always been an outsider and this is just par for the course of my life to date.
Sovereignty is not easy. Building a sovereign platform is not easy either. No one will give you freedom. Freedom must be taken! The limits tested. Perhaps if you prefer chains other platforms would suit you better? I encourage you to stick with it. Develop new neuro pathways that include NOSTR.
