I just realized something I’m kinda sad about with #nostr.

There’s this whole division of the population on social who literally seem incapable of conversation. Their entire tirade of posts is either an absurd twisting of some half of a sentence you made and then an “I can’t believe you think [make up shit here].” And even worse is they chase you around like mosquitoes. The true definition of time wasters, both for you and themselves (which is just kinda sad to be honest).

But my favorite tool against them wasn’t to mute or block them, it was to block and then unblock immediately. It would force an “unfollow” on their side without any fanfare. It was a quiet “go the fuck away.”

Sad to see it go 😂

I guess I will have to be more liberal with the mute button as the “incoherents” join the party on Nostr.

The belligerent generation? Nothing better to do than feed their tiny egos? Mute is a mandatory part of any social media environment, otherwise it becomes chaos and no one will stay expet those that revel in the chaos.

I go the other way, I have a list of only 12 specific people and I use that as my "home" on Amethyst. The trick is to pick people that bring in interesting content from disjoint categories.

it has to do with basic 'education'. while schools are propaganda institutions brainwashing children with rockefeller propaganda, some education is necessary in order to funcion in a hostile environment. mathematics is one basic skill. languages are another. math teaches logic and languages open the...
