Oddbean new post about login | logout two people have asked why I muted them when I haven’t muted them. it would seem quite logical that if you can see what someone is posting, you have not in fact muted them 🤓 or is that like a thing people do now? what should we call it? “victim commenting?” scratch that. if you accuse me of muting you when I haven’t muted you, I’m muting you to complete the metaphysical cycle 🔁
why haven't you muted me
guilt. the thing all good actions are driven by. or no. because I like you? yes. that last one.
id understand, but thanks
actually it’s because I think quite highly of you. I think you’re a rare one, with goodness and integrity in your core, that shines under pressure.
I think there is some sort of mechanism that is automuting people. I've had this before. I *suspect* it is a primal thing, but don't want to blame them lol. But yeah, I've had to add people I follow to an 'allow list' when using primal. And I suspect their content setting things added them... Maybe. This is all just guesses tho lol
I find that hard to believe. Or I don’t want to. But stranger things have happened. 🤷
No, you're probably right. I know nothing. I had to delete a mute list of like 400 people which I never made. And I just guessed that that is how it happened. I mean amethyst also has that security filter. So I can also accuse them lol. Probably just a weird glitch ┐( ∵ )┌
Really?! wow. 😮 400 person mute list you didn’t create. That’s um… there are some interesting implications there. 🤔
I don't think it was even muting them tho. I'm also willing to believe it was somehow my fault. Like I accidentally pressed some sort of 'copy mute list' button or something mad like that. I don't know lol. I literally just bumble about nostr clueless
The thing is, there has to be a signed event. Which means, either someone else has access to your nsec, or, you pressed a button and followed a mute list without realizing it.
