I had followed them, who were they?

lol Who was it?

If you don't like the people on Nostr, it's likely you just don't like people in general.

they also reposted for most of their content. nothing wrong with that, of course. they added their thoughts to their reposts that were mostly in the vein of agreement. one doesn't have to be confrontational or contrarian to be social but it doesn't really give others an avenue to engage with you.

I think it's important to post original content from your life, your experiences and your own knowledge to be able to find your people on nostr.

It's not about freedom, it's about followers.

i don't think we should vilify people for merely sharing their opinion. i follow lesser people and probably the same amount of notes spread over time. its a good feedback. We can remain arrogant, develop this cult culture in belittling everyone else who disagrees with nostr or we can take it as feedback, understand what could help make it better and move forward.

This cult culture of belittling people is slowly chipping away my love for nostr. He did no personal attack to you but merely shared his thoughts, but you decided to personally attack this person and shame him/her and that's not right.
