Oddbean new post about login | logout Wow 😮 how often do you clean those out? I try to do it every few months. I deleted like 200 a few weeks ago.
Is there an easy way to do it?
Someone had made a tool that you could use to purge inactive accounts but I never tried it because I remember people saying it messed up their follows. I just do it manually.
Okay.
I try to do it every few weeks. But I used to do it with tools like nostraidvm but it didn’t find everyone and would spit out a list. I tried with noogle filter this weekend but my follow list got rugged. From my talk with elsat, it seems like it was because of the issue with the big follow lists. So I started doing it manually. It got rugged again (it jumps back from ~1300 to ~1600). But Semisol’s restore saved me this time 😮💨
What’s your criteria for deletion? Inactive for more than 3 months? 2 months?
My general rule is no posts or replies for a month. I figure at that point it’s clear that nostr isn’t really a priority for them. With very few exceptions, I want to follow users who are consistently active. And very large follow lists seem to cause problems with user experience, so me following an inactive npub is essentially like dragging around dead weight from relay to relay. But I also make exceptions to my 1 month rule, such as if I know we never engage with each other, or if they’re a little bitch ass hoe, etc.
Little bitch ass hoe 😂😂😂 If I lower to 1-2 months I’ll get under 1K easy. 🫡
Most days I have a limited amount of time to spend on nostr. No time for little bitch ass hoes in my timeline or notifications 😂 To be fair, I chose 1 month somewhat arbitrarily but it’s been my consistent guideline. I figure it’s normal for people to take time to unplug, go on vacation, get busy with projects, etc. A week or two offline, to me that seems normal. But if it starts pushing towards a month or more, then to me it seems like you’ve got better things to do, and that’s perfectly fine and your prerogative, but I don’t want that npub being dead weight, that’s all.
Nostr is fun. No time for the energy vampires 😂 https://media1.tenor.com/m/pWQeAWBblmYAAAAC/nobody-got-time-for-that-a-intnobody-got-time-for-that.gif
Is there an app to review follow list activity?
I use Nostur and if I tap on a profile pic it gives a little popup that includes “last seen” which essentially calculates the last time you signed an event to a relay i’m connected to. I’m not sure if there’s one that shows it in a more consolidated view for all your follows though. That would be helpful. https://image.nostr.build/aad32106c2c99b89ba43f1048cbe839185091c0d5c722231168a04f474825807.jpg
