I don't care what you think of me, only how you came to think it.

What if I don't follow the person? The only evidence I had that the post existed was that someone replied to it. Do clients have a way to find out what relays are hosting a comment? Is that even included in the Nostr protocol?

And what about if I don't even have that much? Is that still just a client problem? And you didn't address my complaints about relay transparency. Is there anything that could substitute for this lack of transparency in relays and a protocol that doesn't facilitate such relay transparency?

Nostr has censorship resistence in theory, but in practice there is very little transparency when it comes to the rules and policies of individual relays. Just the other day I saw someone replying to a post I wanted to see but couldn't. How am I supposed to diagnose that? Just keep on adding relay after relay until 100 relays deep I find the magic one? Maybe Amythist is just a shitty app, but it would be great if the user could be more directly in control of their own experience and in a more transparent way. Heck, theoretically the regular internet is censorship resistent too, because you can always just republish your blog from a different web host, but as the consumer I'd prefer not to have to write my own fucking web-spider just to be able to know what content I'm filtering out.

I may be a scoundrel, but when every new user is complaining that they can't tell what the difference is between any of the 70 relays they have to choose from you know you have a problem. Mastadon may block at the instance level rather than each individual post, but at least Mastadon instances make their blocklists public!

If you are stupid enough then that might still count as a manipulative tactic. Be careful out there folks! I've been scammed this way 5 times!

Here's hoping AI will help people to be wrong even more often.

Is that why you haven't been responding to me? Are you worried that I will capture you?

You can lead a horse to water, but if it drinks it's the horse's fault.

SO STOP ACTING SO SMUG YOU DIDNT CHANGE MY MIND!!!! I CHANGED MY MIND!!!!

I see. You know, nostr:nprofile1qqsy2ga7trfetvd3j65m3jptqw9k39wtq2mg85xz2w542p5dhg06e5qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxrhwden5te0dehhxarj9enx6apwwa5h5tnzd9az7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctczcs834 says that there is no network effect with direct messages, but the whole reason I use Signal is because they managed to get half of my family onto their network. Is Keychat or 0xChat intrgrated with Signal's network? Can I can call my family with Nostr?

I believe you, I was referring to your friend's prank, which I find funny. But even if you are being disingenuous that doesn't change the fact that I hadn't even considered that two different people might end up using the same account. I have to remember that into the future.
