 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.
