I honestly don’t understand how some accounts have 10s of thousands of followers, like I feel like I’m basically communicating with most of Nostr. I don’t mind just don’t understand.
Discussion
😂 😂 some have thousands of followers because they were followed on default on sign up by clients 😂😂 it's really a tally of how many people have joined nostr, and didn't stay for me.
It’s true, they pick favorites 🤣
everybody on this thread is nostr active,
and to me that's the only metric that matters.
Everything else is superficial and irrelevant.
It’s true, I feel like I have a lot of good friends here, that’s why I’m here
Nostr people very opinionated, likely get muted. I know I mute and unfollow a lot, especially AI related “art” or any dumb takes. Doesn’t mean I don’t like that person, just don’t care to hear what they have to say about some subject.
It also so happens some of us somehow were in the recommended user list for all new signups. I know devs added themselves 😆 and I somehow made it into a few. Tons of lurkers too.
Ignore the follow count. It’s a superficial old world relic.
I agree, people get way too offended/ but hurt about being muted then they go mute others haha, and I agree follow count isn’t a good way to judge one’s reach or value, I don’t have a lot of followers but I have a lot of friends and a lot of engagement.
I mute and unmute and refollow and unfollow all the time. It’s never personal, just a filtration mechanism for things I want to see less or more of at that time. If we had better ways to do it that would be great.
I never once looked at who mutes me. I imagine it’s many people because I talk shit all the time 🤣 I’m not angry at them for muting me - don’t even know if they did.
Yeah I never look at mine either, would be a cool feature to be able to unfollow people temporarily without muting them too, know Damus has a timed mute thing which is also helpful. I go through and filter my follows every couple months too.
Fwiw I've been on here for 2 years and don't think I've come across your account until now. Someone I follow quoted a reply from this thread.
But yes, most of my "followers" are people who drifted away from nostr or were never real to begin with lol
Yeah, a lot of dead accounts on here. Well, nice to meet you, never seen you either.
Fake followers I guess
Discovery is still an issue for me, how to follow someone that you don't know even exists. I don't even know how I got to this thread lol 😅
Uno! Thank you for the challenge yesterday, I will upload some push-ups any second and try be better than my 25 from yesterday.
A few are recommended, when you register on primal platform 👀❗️
I understand why😳
(Strategic: "it is to attract more people...")
Slowly growing your account without 🤖 or sheeps🐑, is better for the platform long-term 😲🎯😌
You also know they really like your content, when you have a big follower group most of them are ninja watchers💀
😳My opinion😳:
"focus on providing value and the people who understand the value you're giving, will find you 👌 🩵slow but healthy growth is better🩵 because of technology we want everything fast and we don't have patience anymore (me included 😢) awareness of mainstream social media bad influence and our mental health is a good thing for the near future 🎯😲🧐
Mainstream social media increase bad mental health, also our view, it decrease REAL CONNECTIONS
MAINSTREAM = (hyperbolic, fake content 0% value and DRAMA get the most views and followers, most people don't understand the damage it causes worldwide)
When you give value = you get slow growth, but it’s better long-term and you get followers who understand you.
I have a mainstream account with a big follower group and less than 0,01% engage with the valuable content, the most engagement I get on mainstream social media is because of drama, hyperbole or other nonsense (I hate this effect, but it’s the objective truth 😬)
😵💫That's why more children are getting mental issues🧐😵💫, because of the drama get more views and engagement 🤢🤮
It subtle changes our thinking, self-control, and behaviour, the end result: "our focus and critical thinking is damaged, because of mainstream social media influence, it's for most people too powerful/it makes us addicted to the drama worldwide 🤔💐💐💐"
your profile intro is hilarious 😆 🐕
