Ryan is just criticizing what he sees as spam and fake engagement. He is free to do so. Just like you’re free to do zaps 4 follows. He’s not ordering anyone to do anything. Not does he have the authority to do so.

When they follow you they’re your friends but if they listen to Ryan and unfollow then they’re dogs? I don’t think that’s fair. And Ryan is not a censor, he’s just expressing his opinion. Like he should, on a free internet

But what authority does he have to tag 100 profiles of people who follow me and tell them not to follow me anymore?

That’s not authority though. That’s just him writing a note and tagging some npubs. Anyone can do it. He’s expressing his opinion because he doesn’t like zaps 4 follows. Unfortunately, when we do or say stuff in public, like we do on nostr, some will agree and some won’t. That’s just how it is

But it's not correct that I, who took 1 month to get 450 followers, lose 100 in a second just because someone more authoritative than me (i.e. more followed) says that my profile is fake and it's a scam! When it's absolutely not like that!

If 100 people unfollow in seconds, did you really have something in common to begin with? Wouldn’t you rather focus your attention on the ones that stayed rather than on the ones that left?

Maybe one way to look at it is that today happened and all the ones who stayed are still here. That’s a positive

I wasn't treated properly! A new user who has spent the last month of his life more hours on this social network than with his family and at a certain point is targeted so for something that is not illegal to do I find it unfair. That's all. Also because if I only did zap4follow I would say ok. But I publish a thousand other things other than zap4follow

There are lots of accounts posting interesting content that are never seen. They scream into the void basically.

You spending more time on here than with your family shows dedication sure. But it’s also your choice. No one forced you

I personally try and spend more time with my loved ones than on here. But, that’s just me. Nothing wrong with touching some grass
