Nostr Web Client

24 hrs ago, I had 6 followers. Not so many eh? But a respectable number considering YakiHonne gives the impression of being a quiet corner on a quiet Nostr platform (unless you are Cheer Leader for Bitcoin Pretty Boys or the W.E.F.).

Today, I fired-up my computer to find I now have 0 followers. And I've posted nothing for the past 48 hrs (or perhaps a touch longer). So what on earth could have caused such a drastic change?

A few days earlier, and via "Messages", someone (an anonymous responder) in the YakiHonne team, confirmed my suggestion that the repeated trimming of the value in my Followers Counter was due to "Relay Problems"? But such an explanation really doesn't make sufficient sense. If it was one or more of the Relays (YakiHonne connects to only 4, while Primal is connecting to 7 or 9 Relays) then what could be the trigger? A few lines in someone's Rust Code?

Several weeks back my Followers in this account once briefly touched 9, but that was soon cut back to 4 (the number 4 has been a persistent number following the editing of my Followers Counter).

What's the chances of some Asian faggot playing around because he/she feels ideologically or religiously driven? Because it is pretty obvious that I am an enemy of both Woke ideology and Woke Ideologues, and am also not Asian.

The trends don't lie. Social Media (no matter the platform) has already become, or is fast becoming, a complete joke. Since 2022 it has all been taken over by political fanatics (mostly of the "Far Left" variety). Even Nostr will end up going the way (i.e., to the Left of 'Far Left') of Mastodon and Threads.

For the time being I am quite happy to use this platform as a personal note taker and jotter. There's actually no point in trying to attract skittish and/or effeminate 'Followers' on Social Media, including Nostr, simply because it is evident that too many of them are already mentally ill.

It's my understanding that YakiHonne is being run from premises in Malaysia.

EXPLANATION FOR ABOVE POST: During mid 2025 I was passing thru yet another overly-challenging, and frustrating period.

Since early 2018, I've lived through a strung-out succession of unpredictably rough periods, which kept arriving in waves before I'd even had time to fully fix and then get over the effort of fixing "the previous bad patch".

Sure, life was never meant to be easy (and I know many others have been obliged to live thru something worse; esp. since 2022) but I've never experienced anything like it during several previous decades. To solve the mystery of this extended epoch, perhaps I should consult an Astrologer?? 😇

One evening, I was getting frustrated over my NOSTR Follower's Count going up a few notches, before collapsing down by 75 percent or so for no apparent reason. So the negative expressions contained in that post was just me blowing-off with muted anger mixed with some conspiratorial speculation.

The thing is, at the time I typed out some of my negative feelings, I did not know that stuff posted in NOSTR is inherently "kind-of" permanent. There's no pre-positioned "delete" option. Not even an edit button ... once a poster has committed his/her post to the linked NOSTR Relays. Clearly, I regret not studying NOSTR's small print more closely.

I have made an actual attempt to delete the offending post, but I soon hit a road-block linked to a missing NIP-09. And I simply couldn't move past it.

On the topic of NIP-09, I am currently in correspondence with the YakiHonne Team. They have always been very helpful, but this problem might be outside of their scope. But even with their assistance and intervention, the chances of getting the above post deleted (currently 6 months old, at time of this writing) from at least 3 Relays, will likely remain low.

I've certainly embarrassed myself. But we all make mistakes. Fortunately, this mistake was made online, and not in the middle of busy traffic while riding my bicycle!

Cheers! 🙏
