Except that I noted repeatedly that I am increasingly fighting the tendency to act like this, myself, because I find it so irritating when other people do.
And, apparently, I'm not the only one who finds it irritating or counterproductive.
I'm in the line of fire, now, because I wrote a common complaint down so clearly that they finally can't ignore it.
nostr:note1rv00wfg2m0y4mkl5csq432dww2a83qcs4sryeq4nal22mqtv6cwq62krrm
it got me a lot of flak in the early days too because it just was cringe circle jerk one of us one of us shit
Well, I don't mind him getting mad and muting me. I do it myself, all the time, even if I hardly have anyone muted, anymore. Most of them probably have me muted, anyway.
But the accusation that I'm pushing some weird American academic social philosophy because I made a pointed critique about drive-by posters from X and Instagram, is ridiculous.
I don't think he's upset that I wrote this, tho. It was just me shitposting and ranting, as per usual.
I think he's upset that so many people liked it.
idk, it might just be that precautionary "hey, wait, maybe this girl is peddling socialism" thought
i didn't even think of the "drive by posting" part of it, i had in my mind the pablos and fiatjafs and miljans and others (and that's why it's also extra funny because hodlbod just isn't in that category of cool kid devs club clan)
He put me on the Red List. 😂
haha, rabble is on my red list, he even engaged with me trying to play down his redness
I think you might take yourself too seriously. I don't even follow you, much less keep obsessive account of reactions to your notes. It caught my eye because this "elites" or "priesthood" stuff crops up on nostr every so often, and it's divisive and pointless. I don't know why people have to fight over their slice of the (so far nonexistent) pie. Doing so jeopardizes the whole project.
But I do want to apologize for the way I said what I did, because it contributed to the problem. I was not focused on you, but on your rhetoric, and so failed to follow James 3, Romans 12:18, and just treat you like a person. Please forgive me for that.
yeah, it's gonna be egg on the face when he realises, but he's a nice guy so i'm sure he'll be good about it later
He's saying that I'm so clever and quick-witted that I must be a Marxist, so whatever. 🥴
"Nice Guy"
i say that he is traumatised by being assaulted intensively by fallacious argumentation by wokester assholes during the lockdown days
jesus says turn the other cheek
i almost want to analyse your post to see where it is manipulative but i'll just leave it aside because my first received message from it was "fucking circle jerk nostr insider wankers who think they are special and never engage"
well, i have seen both pablo and fiatjaf actually have meaningful conversations with me lately so that part is changing, which i am pleased about
but then i read about how others interpreted it to be about dive bombing X influencoors who just post shit and don't bother interacting, and i'm like, ok, yes
that was highlighted by nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h when he posted the meme about write-only relays, which i thought was pretty spot on, so that's three different angles that came at me in one afternoon
i think that it's all fun, and i hope you all keep hating each other to the max forever and ever amen so we never feel like we are comfortable or safe here
because that is a very bad mindset in a house of mirrors full of people wearing masks
I'm muting him.
He clearly knows nothing about me and he's having some sort of moment.
GN
yeah, everyone discovers everyone else gradually
you gotta do what you gotta do
He will now ignore me even harder.
And I will no longer market his product. which he never noticed or appreciated, anyway, so he won't miss it.
yeah, i think you tickled a funny bone with the "there is no nostr elite" point right at the end
that's the one that was most accurate but least discussed, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and survivorship bias
it is the most unspoken thing by the elites, always, that's the last thing they want to do is acknowledge they are set apart even though everything they do sets them apart
anyway, it is a really big stretch, IMO, to assert that this point is manipulative, because it's the thing that causes the most visceral reaction in individuals who match the rest of the profile
anyway, he'll get over it... he always was the least pretentious of the cool kids club
Denying that there is a hierarchy, when we can map it from the public data set, is ridiculous.
And complaining that some of the people higher in the hierarchy are too aloof, distant, indifferent, or self-serving, is as old as humanity.
Bizarre to claim that is Marxism, on a platform full of rebellious Bitcoiners and Libertarians.
I also reject the logic of "Group A said X, so anyone who says X belongs to Group A". That is an obvious fallacy, unless you can prove that only Group A has ever said something like that.
That's the same lazy tactic they've used in Germany to denounce anyone critical of CBDCs, censorship, or open borders as "Nazis".
as i point out, it's an exploit of survivorship bias... the thing you are defending is not visible in the category you just already excluded it from, and the whole thread of reasoning is leading, if you trace it backwards you see the trick
Cloudfodder's meme was so good. 😁🎯
yeah, he highlighted a base layer aspect of it that was quite clever to point out... "write only relays" 🤣
the absurdity and how it ties in with the i'm too cool crowd was too on target
Well, he can't put the meme back into the box, and it's taken on a life of its own because it fit so well, so he'll just have to get over my expertise in defining and naming things and move on with his life.
Maybe the next time somebody @s someone else, or they see some newbie appear in their replies, they'll be more eager to respond.
that was the whole point
there is a bunch of them that moved from being so distant to making some effort to mix and good on them
i think what causes the cognitive dissonance is that the majority of funding of this protocol to date has been essentially donations from million/billionaires so there's a sense of "don't bite the hand that feeds you" in this
and i think actually, these feeders don't care and are giving the funding out BECAUSE it's about not having this walking on eggshells nonsense
#nostr is #punk was a direct quote from Jack no less, i mean, if his whole purpose isn't in funding a bunch of cats to go after the pigeons i don't know what his purpose was
Still waiting for my hug from Jack. 😂
At least you're working hard for all your well-deserved follows!
