Subnostr

When I see that sort of stuff I always think of a 17 year old kid in their bedroom being edgy on the internet for kicks, they're clearly trying to illicit a response and if you don't give one, they tend to disappear (although I assume it's still replying as when I try a new client, it's back again). I can see a lot of people thinking that's a hard no from them though.

Now I know what you mean by a hell thread it makes more sense. I envisioned it more like a pile on, which even done in good faith, could be a bit overwhelming.

Maybe a bot that responded to introductions with a simple guide to Nostr? That would be pretty cool IMO, although way over my skill level!

Hashtags are cool.

Hey friend, sorry to never answer this! It must have gotten buried in my notifications because I don’t recall reading it. But someone just liked another note in the thread, so when I read through it again just now, I found your reply 🤙

Definitely agree re: the bot behavior. It’s juvenile and toxic at best, but definitely a swift move to turn away interested new users who perhaps aren’t prepared to be responsible for the bulk of their own content consumption and moderation, or who are just testing the waters to see what an uncensored digital communication network looks like, and what they find ranges from unsavory to downright awful. It’s rare, in my experience, but still a problem without an obvious solution.

I love your idea of an introductions “reply guy” bot. That’s a really clever approach, and there is definitely an opportunity to improve the onboarding experience here. (I wouldn’t know how to code it either, but we’re lucky that nostr is chock-full of brilliant devs).
