 I decided to unfollow most accounts that don’t follow anyone.
One sided participation isn’t participating.
Change my mind.

🧡👊🏻🍻 
 My accountant is following me.... 😳 
 They need to make sure you declare all your zaps. 
 I just did a purge, too. Although I was kind of sad to see so many npubs I followed after a great introduction post that just gave up ☹️.  
 👊 
 Same here. I've been supporting this guy's content for months and he wasn't even following me

Asshole 
 I’m so basic … this is not something I concern myself with. But if someone’s a turd … then I block them 

Cause flux that noise  
 I’m picky about who I follow. I’m a quality over quantity kind of girl. 
 News & content accounts aside, I agree. 
 There's content here?? 👀👀 
 Well they are bots skimming twitter, but i do enjoy the ai images & crazy beautiful videos. 
 where are all these accounts that don't follow anyone? these are my peeps

kind 3 is out, the nostr algorithm is in 
 im on a mission to eliminate kind 3 as its harmful and too limiting 
 Unfollow inactive accounts… https://unfollow.yeghro.site/ 
 People just think at their own belly ... 😅 
 A month ago I unfollowed a lot. First of them, those big acount that say blah blah then I get 465 reposts of their blah blah... 
 You are following exactly zero people.  
Hes talking about you. Lol 
 🙌🏽🎃 
 Most people do not post no use to follow them ! Follow at least those that repost 
 this is the way
i don't even know how to see how many people i follow, different clients have different truths

 👌 I have always, also before Nostr, followed a policy of reciprocity. You follow me, I'll follow you. If you don't, that's OK. But accounts who don't bother even following others, nah.  
 🔥🔥🔥 
 A new kind of participation is precisely what #nostr offers us :) sounds reasonable 
 Yout atitude is spot on. Real People ARE what trully master. 
 When you say anyone.  Do you mean few or zero? 
 I recently unfollowed Micheal Saylor. 
 Perspective is everything. 
 🤝  
 People can do whatever they want.
For liberty.  
 I’m guilty of not being very actively lately. I have to do better, just been a bit busy. 🤙🏻🫂 
 Life is far more important.
Far more.
🧡🍻👊🏻 
 Yeah I’ve been peaking on people’s post / reply numbers as well. Active or you’re out. 
 This^ 
 If follower ratio is skewed, then for sure.

The caveat being for notable “nostr-lebrity” accounts. 
 I dunno, isn't the whole point of Nostr to curate your own feed? 
 I have experienced times in life where I need to focus on my self, away from social media, or that I do not have much to offer. Still life will change, and than I can be important to come back to a community. Sad if everyone has closed all connections, and it is as starting fresh to try to build again.  
 Agreed.
Followed.
🧡🍻👊🏻 
 Nostr is two sided. Follow and lead. Speak and listen. 
 Exactly. 
 Nothing is two sided anymore. Omnicidal people have taken over the planet. Leadership is not recognized.

With me, the exchange is zero-sided - I've noticed that nobody deems me a leader when I offer better leadership than others, so I'm not going to deem inferior people leaders either. 
 I understand that ppl with more than some thousand followers can't and won't follow back. But for me it's still something very new and interested to look at the accounts. If I like the content I follow back. If I see a "repost" account, I'm not interested. Also some accounts spam 20 notes a day, which ruins my feed.
I think there is truth to what you say. But ultimately I love Nostr for the ability to craft my own feed and not being generated by an AI. 🧡💜 
 I feel pretty much the same way.
-If they only post, never reply or have close to no follows then it feels very one sided.

🧡🍻👊🏻 
 How do you decide? Is a follow only worthwhile if it’s mutual? 
 Nah, nothing like that.  There’s a ton of accounts that have like 0 followers or very few in ratio.  
—Or only post, never reply. 
🧡👊🏻🍻

 Digit isn't here. Why the fuck would I follow anyone?

Nobody even close to Digit is here. None of you fucking know her. None of you matter.

If you want to learn from me, fine. I have a tiny bit of knowledge of Digit to teach you about, and I know way more about all the stupid pointless shit you think is important. You can follow me. I don't need to follow anyone in a place without Digit. 
 Agreed, it's no fun to be a lurker on nostr.  
 Follow here 
 🎯 100. 
The whole point is engagement, conversation, discussion on topics we care about. Without that it's sort of pointless. 
 Thank you very much for the zap.👍🙏 
 @Tuvok Thank you very much for the zap.👍🙏 
 @telluride Thank you very much for the zap.👍🙏 
 Your right, too many fake accounts!  
 Speaking the truth! 🧡 
 Yeah same. They think, Nostr is just a one-sided press release channel. 
 I decided to unfollow all nostr.social.app, there isn't one that works well, rather than complete works they seem like abandoned drafts. Maybe there is a competition to see who can extract the most doodles and no one knows... I downloaded a Wallet that says my invoices are all non-existent, I used 4 different relays and 5 did the opposite of what they were designed to do. I even tried to connect Snort with a wallet trying all 4 available options, and take a guess... nothing worked 😮‍💨 I wonder if people only cook or also eat what they prepare... and it's not a metaphor 😂 they look beautiful dishes from the window... so... what are you doing here? It's a hilarious doubt... I don't want to be picky, but is this the best you can do? We are ruined otherwise... 
 Reciprocity is key 
 what are these accounts? I smell some professional influencer vibes 
 0 follows <> 0 engagements.
I was a hashtag follower my first few weeks on nostr.
But, to your point, it's a good practice to regularly purge non-contributing handles from your community.  
 If your going to spend the time on it, checking the account replies is a better indicator of engagement. IMO.

 Perfectly fair 
 Theoretically speaking to increase value in a network (nostr included) we need to boost the network effect following and being followed as much as possible, i.e. network densification.
On the other hand we should also keep an eye on the quality of our engagements and contents, otherwise we would just increase the noise and not the value. 
#value4value NOT #garbageingarbageout

 
 💯 I hope nostr at large adopts that ethos of privacy
