Hoping we get rid of followers metric altogether.

twitter fixed by becoming so full of bots that the follower metric is meaningless

On nostr we had a lot of people at one point and devs placed themselves as someone to follow but then most left and were left with some really skewed stats that are not even remotely close representation of actual nostr user base.

i'm not concerned with follower count at all or inflated metrics. i regularly delete accounts. its more so just the annoyance of notification spam from people following and then unfollowing the next day. its an annoying gaming of the system. example: npub10stmgzyf6yeqs00wru0s3lmu262jd5x6g6l6dam7k5warff0qj9q4y25jt

You can disable that in primal I think. It’s a stupid feature anyway.

cool. just saw this too which is smart "Ignore notes with more than 10 mentions"

I disable most notifications. The only thing I have on is mentions. I think notifications are unhealthy.
