I believe I know why you do. I'm trying to see through the eyes of the normies. You're not logged into Instagram or TikTok by default, you get a fresh start with profile creation or login.

With the mascot profile want to demo what's possible yes? So that the app doesn't feel empty. Personally I find intital emptiness helpful, I'm not distracted while getting used to the UI. However that's me, the normie maybe enjoys the show.

Anyway, it's great to see you published Damus for Android, THANK YOU, this is an important step for Nostr as a whole ✌️
