This may be a controversial opinion, but I HATE “follow me” dms or “follow for follow” posts. Post things that add value…educate people, make them laugh and I promise people including myself will find you.

If you aren’t trying to get your name out there for business purposes whatever it is, what does it matter how many people follow you? Honest question.

Feed the ego. What else?

Do you think there are people who really care about how many followers they have simply for ego or are they trying to build a following eith dreams of being some kind of influencer?

From my experience I can say that there are a lot people who want many followers just for their ego.

Value4value > follow4follow

This!!!!!

Yeah. If you post content that people find valuable, the followers will come.

Good things have gravity. The best even bend time.

He said it!

*this is the way gif*

Finished my intro series about BTC for orange pilling, still updating/tweaking every day. But any feedback or changes (titles, newsletter name, content organization etc) would be appreciated before I start to share it around with fam/friends 🫳

Ill check it out. Thx!

💯 agree to this , sell yourself out there

STRONGLY agree, the whole plebchain thing kind of bugs me too.

Is literally the only point to get your follower account up? I have followed some amazing people that way when I first got to Nostr, but since those first couple days, my main criteria for following is posting something interesting, helpful, or thought provoking.

No hate on people doing it, but I'd rather individuals follow me because we think we can have a mutually beneficial relationship, rather then just bump each other's numbers.

Agree. I think it’s going to be more important to curate here for high signal.

honestly follow for follow is an efficient algo for increasing noise over signal

Absolutely. I know my content would probably gum up a dev’s feed and I wouldn’t be a great follow for them. Or one of my hands down favorite bitcoiners recently admitted he had to mute me on Twitter because my dental tweets made him gag 😆 It’s all good. Complete control of your own information input and output is a beautiful thing.

The self awareness is strong in you 🧡💯

Just here to learn from you guy's. Couldn't care less about follows..... I learned how to Zap today. I zapped and got zapped! Not alot to give so the follows won't come but I'm learning everyday.

Don’t underestimate how much your learning process could help others. I get a lot of dms asking “how to” questions and Im happy to answer, but I encourage people to ask via note as well so that it might help someone else. All of us here have learned via the help of others here 💜

thafuq is a note?

A Nostr post like this one.

Ughhh of course zaps are broken when I want to zap a note more than ever! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Phoenix and Muun both working rn! Probably Blue and others too tho I haven't checked

getAlby and ln TipBot working too

Nice yea I think it may just be WoS down rn.

Tbf they are probably the most used but idk for sure

Zap people. Follow everyone who zaps me.

Zap whore 😉

The algorithmless environment allows us to find authenticity and to value it properly.

Totally agree! I think this is a wonderful place to create value and share it open.

dopamine + confirmation

Agreed. In the #Bitcoin community, we're all about adding value and educating others. We don't need to resort to "follow for follow" tactics. Instead, we focus on creating valuable content and building a community around financial freedom and decentralization.
