Nostr Web Client

Cleaned up my follow list and found 3 things:

1) A few accounts marked as “old/deleted.” This is GREAT etiquette. Unfollowed old npubs, followed new if it was listed.

2) Several accounts with no activity for over a week. I assume they gave up on Nostr or moved to new npubs that I don’t have. Unfollowed.

3) SO MANY people playing the follow/unfollow game to boost their own follower count. Unfollowed for gross iNfLuEnCeR behavior 🤮

Also, follower ratio doesn’t matter here. Nobody even knows for sure how many followers you have because it changes so much 🤣

3) might be a game for some but it’s also a reality that the following list gets overwritten and you need to do it to after the incident.

Has happened multiple times for me.

Yea true. I try to weigh those more on the value/quality of their posts or my engagement with them. If someone is interesting or we engage on even a semi-regular basis then that’s someone I want to keep following, even if they don’t follow me back. Some are a little more obvious because they were just buying followers in the first place “I’ll send sats to anyone who follows and reposts” and then they unfollow you 😂

Being outside of the whole game is so liberating. You just do what you do and the rest is not up to you, and couldn’t care less whether someone follow or not 😁

I miss lists so you can curate by topics who to follow since missing good notes is too easy with a huge firehose feed.
