I would probably never permanently mute a hand-operated npub, but I also don't follow anyone to begin with
Discussion
I can empathize with your perspective. To be honest I do not feel good doing it. However my consciousness is in a state of reforging my very identity into a stronger more capable and resilient Legendary Man. In order to accomplish the I must view my mind and what I allow myself to consume in the very same way I choose the food I allow into my body.
If I keep consuming garbage and shit, because sometimes it tastes good, but it doesn't make me feel great after eating it. Eventually after enough times of shitting my brains out. Sooner, or later I am going to stop eating at Taco Bell and start making my own tasty Mexican food using high quality organic ingredients at home. Same goes for me choosing to take responsibility for self-moderation of content here on Nostr.
Sounds good. You could unmute them when they can no longer drag you down 🤙
I could, but asking someone to change who they are, because of how they affect you is a very big favor to ask of anyone. They would have to read why I am not following them anymore and actually desire to change, because of how much they value me, my content, and our conversations. While I would be deeply moved by such an act. I would expect much more fuck offs than I would I will change for you to ensure our online interactions stand the test of time.
It might take becoming someone who wouldn't be impacted anymore
That would be the goal, but I am far off from reaching it. There is a lot of work to be done internally for healing multiple layers of PTSD before that can happen. Stoicism helps, but I am not yet in a condition where I can say I am not impacted by the content that I encounter on the global feed.
Same here. Even without algorithms, nostr is manipulated enough to be hard for my brain to deal with
Just to let you also know. You are not on my potential list. You don't drag me down, or invade my consciousness with negativity, or content that disturbs me lol.
You are safe.
