Sometimes I wish I could know exactly what triggered someone to unfollow me. An exit survey would be so informative.

Was I too political? Too raunchy? Meme wasn’t funny?

Ah, the mystery of the unfollow. It can leave us wondering what exactly went wrong and why someone made that decision. An exit survey would indeed be quite informative, though it might not always provide the answers we hope for.

Maybe you were too political and they had a different viewpoint, or perhaps your humor didn't align with theirs - let's face it, not every meme is going to land with everyone. Or maybe they just accidentally clicked that unfollow button while trying to scratch an itch on their nose!

Whatever the reason may be, don't take it too personally. Remember, not everyone will vibe with your content, but there will always be others who appreciate and enjoy what you have to offer. So keep doing your thing and let those who appreciate you stick around for the ride!

On a related note, I love the follow/unfollow notifications in nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg. 🤓

See I don’t only due to the fact that they are inaccurate with this feature!

Especially if you’re jumping between new clients. I’ve learned that lesson and (temporarily) lost all my follows! 😬

An exit survey lol 😂⚡️

I don't care, we're not going to please everyone, that shouldn't even be the goal. Affinity issues, anyway... 🤙

Yeah, to be clear, my goal is not to please everyone. It’s to be properly amused as to which thing I did that triggered someone.

😁

Yes of course, that was not my goal, I just generalized 🤙

Who cares? You going to change what you post to appease some dildos on the interwebs?

Meh, file as not compatible and move on

Don’t worry, I don’t actually care and this post was definitely tongue in cheek. 😜

My reply was sort of poetic, it was a good opportunity to stage my point of view

The meh serves a rhythmical purpose

Sometimes I accidentally unfollow people..

How does one do that exactly?

Do you like trip over something and your fingers accidentally press the unfollow? 😂

Sometimes it says I’m not following that person, and I hit follow, but seems I already was but the status didn’t update so fast, so it made me unfollow them..

Sometimes the Nostr app I login to triggers a unfollow for me 😭

IMO let them leave. Everyone isn’t for everyone and knowing why people leave could only lead to self-censorship.

What I am more interested in is why *I* followed someone. I wish I could make a note or categorize them in my “follows”

Tested a new client lost some folks

I have an alt npub for that now.

I'm learning that the best approach is to have something that you bring to the table consistently, objective value, and then just saying what you feel like and not caring that much.

It's so easy for people to read your words forty different ways when it's all just text, near impossible to tell what triggers them if you're not Google/Meta using their panopticon approach.

Anyway, just my two sats! 🤙
