 Nostur wiped my follow list 😓😓😓 
 Did you press the red button? 
 read this just when I had opened nostur for the first time in a while 👀👀👀👀 
 Should we be backing these up or something?

Not sure how this happens but it's a little unsettling when experimenting on nostr

 Really? I’ve used it for such a long time and that hasn’t happened 😨

 That sucks. I think we need a kind of protection for that. Maybe relays store a previous version when you update a replaceable event so clients can easily publish a roll back these things. 

https://metadata.nostr.com is your friend (you know this, I’m sharing for others, who might face the same issue) 
 Yeah, I think relays (that want to) should return multiple versions of replaceable events if you include a “limit” query when REQing for a replaceable event; that way any client could easily implement a recovery tool 
 Makes sense…  
 https://follows.nostr.com/ is a better friend. 
 I’m loving these super useful micro nostr tools you’ve been making lately!  
 I just took a look at the site to save it to my list and I could see the log in button on brave, but not when I opened it on Kiwi, where I've got nos2x  
 Ignore me, I figured it out, it's just that the floating log in button which appears on brave doesn't appear on Kiwi, the other white log in button works  
 I used https://metadata.nostr.com/ to fix  
 There used to be a website at https://follows.lol

this tool used to be available to copy the list of followers
from a nostr account npub  
 When will fj fix this  
 After his StarCraft round is over. 
 Devs do something. 
 Thats.. impressive.. I have several protections against wipe are you sure it was Nostur? do you remember what steps you did when it happened? 
 I'm pretty sure, yeah; I just signed out, signed back in, then used it for maybe a few minutes and noticed I wasn't following someone whom I was 99% sure I was following (that should have been the tell) so I casually pressed the follow button.

I'm with terrible internet right now, so that probably didn't help 
 This has never happened to me with Nostur - on the contrary, it helped me to restore the contacts that Damus - in early versions - had deleted. 
 Me pasó igual 😤 
 Using it for more than a year know I think but never had this issue. 🤔 
 you can try to recover it from relay you used prev, check out my tools 
 At least we can all see you. 🙏  I hope you can find a way to fix it... 🤞  
 Bro what? 
 🫂 
 Really? Usually it restores mine after another client wipes it. 
 I'll be awaiting the third "pablo started following you" notification.
