I like when the reality of the protocol forces us to think about better ways to represent things like follow counts. Trying to copy centralized concepts is not going to work on a decentralized network. Luckily realizations like this will push us in a much better direction: measuring meaningful connections between individuals and displaying that instead.

Here's how I hit 1 million followers. https://ron.stoner.com/I_Gained_1_Million_Followers_in_24_Hours/ Key takeaways: - over half the Nostr listed relays are using some sort of spam mitigation technique(s) - the attack was still achieveable - socal media is easily manipulated Show more

I guess we need Saylor’s Orange Check after all…

you ever thought abt removing like & follower counts? nostr:note1ve03fs7dh6lp2w5g8w6qz9w56em3nrf7xpm6h70q9ht5jgv3806s9sdx29

I think we need to move on from follow counts to something better Google+ had circles Facebook, Orkut and Myspace had friend lists LinkedIn has connections They all emphasized on displaying only relationships that were two-way. That is better and makes contact lists less of a popularity contest.

People sure are giving that dude alot of attention for being a douchey attention seeking scammer.

I’d rather have 1 good friend and 100 people on Nostr that push me to be a better version of me then 1,000 to a million bots that are NPCs.

Jb55, Define a follower by amount of money ( zap) will weed out the bot accounts. To prevent fake and manipulation by zapping around and passing around zaps: I propose we do this: 1) only count followers on highly respected and trusted Nostr clients( by Nostr community) , 2) each zap amount to from...

Zaps are a meaningful action, I feel they connect us even more so than followers. The follower account game is an old and outdated one, imo.
