Imagine you are heavily involved in a project; you believe so much in its goals and its value — you treat it like your baby! And then people come along, the users, who will give their feedback, whether constructive or not. It must be frustrating. To some degree, it may appear as a personal attack to you as the creator of the app. So I understand where this comment is coming from.
However, if you categorise people as "external," then what does that mean? If you say "petty bugs" because some users care about the "search" functionality, does that make their feedback less important?
We are the algo: this is one of Nostr's marketing pitches, and to be honest, it got me sold on joining Nostr. In the absence of algo like centralised social media, the ability to search is important to me and to some other users. Content searchability is important; speed is important, etc.
Of course, some users will have a myriad of lists of what they want, and I know some can be very silly. Nonetheless, they believe it is important. My point is that what is seemingly "petty bugs" to developers may be critical to users' experience.
I understand that some feedback is not constructive and you cannot act on it (e.g., insulting feedback like "Nostr is shite" — you cannot really act on this feedback!). However, comments like the thread below: are we endangering ourselves by creating division and antagonising those who provide feedback about Nostr?
Could we not weed out the constructive feedback, learn from it, and perhaps educate the users? If we say that Nostr is everyone's problem, then we have not listened intently because if you did, you would not say this comment. Why? There are people who truly care about Nostr but are completely lost as to where to give feedback, what is in the works, or what is a priority.
I have seen so many threads about Nostr's challenges. Yes, some of them are not constructive, but most are constructive. The question is: how do we know that those messages and feedback have been received, seen, or acted upon?
Maybe I am too much of a noob in this community because I do not know which ones are being prioritised or worked on. Education, communication, and orientation are critical. We all agree on this. But if we call feedback "petty" for what is seemingly important to other users, then we are alienating those prospective users and could deter them from giving valuable feedback.
I took my time out of my day to write this because I care, and honestly, to see this comment from nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9, as the so-called founding creator of Nostr, is very disappointing. If we want to grow Nostr, I would strongly recommend that we start listening and learning to identify helpful feedback that is actionable versus non-constructive.

sometimes we go on rampage and autopilot reacting to people. hence, it takes more mindfulness to reflect first before reacting and it is indeed a skill! 👏
🤞all goes well and no major incidents (touch wood!) 🤣
this is insane! 😬
the article did not specify why he was ordered to stop the atms or am I missing something? 🤔
sounds a plan. how would you semantically identify fake accounts?! 😂✌️
If I may, my question is: why does it matter to you to report them? What's your objective? Reading between what you posted I'd assume because you care for the people who are affected as a result of such event. If you are acting within your values and you are fighting what you believe in then I'd say "go for it". However, how would you feel if you sit and watch as the event unfolds right before you? Is inaction will give you inner peace? ☺️🫂
Once you've seen it you can never unseen it. But to those who do not know #nostr yet will have no clue. And it is ok. One day at a time! 👌💯☺️
How you intend to show up is a *skill*. Being mindful how you react to people is a **skill**!
So, how are you going to show up your best self from this day onwards? ☺️😉

breathtaking 🥰😍
excuse the typo "indifference"
mastering your emotions is indeed difficult. but the message does not suggest to be emotionless! even if you feel you are emotionless, you are still feeling it and that is "contempt"/"indiference". either way, your choice to make, the beauty of choice 👏☺️
impressive sight! ❤️
oh dear really? 😬
Every situation comes with an opportunity. One time my FB page was blocked from creating ads and I was livid and frsutrated. That was my awakening moment for me that I was giving my power away to those tech companies and let them dictate my business. 3 weeks ago I finally deleted my FB acct! Yes, it was so liberating! 👏💯☺️
ty for sharing your story with us. It is very refreshing that I was not alone on this. At first I was confused how people put up with it and gave their hard earned cash for the ads. The answer that I've got was: you either beat the algorithm or learn the ropes. I truly understand that some small business has to do anything to keep it upfloat. The same goes for those who need to stick to their job because of their bills. I have respect for them. However, what I have learned that the more I compromise my values, my authenticity in order to survive, it only brought resentment. Hence, I decided I will do business within my terms and with the people/company I am comfortable with. No more compromises. I have no problem creating organic content from those platforms to drive traffic to where I need my target audience to reside. I am 🤞 my fingers that #nostr last so I do not need to go back creating ads from those big techs! ☺️🫂✌️

are you the master of your emotions or are your emotions your master? 🤔☺️

**It is over when you decide that it is over.**
You may change the direction or the path you take, but the destination remains the same. Don't confuse this with pivoting your goals or changing your methods. Along the way, you may change lanes (different career), change the channel (different business venture), or alter the mode of travel (slow or fast pace). But the destination is the same — a lifestyle on your terms, a quality life to share with the people you love, and every interaction around you infused with kindness.
*You only reap what you sow when you persevere.*
