Nostr, before you judge me, hate the hellthread, annoyed by it, mute me, or just ignore it all please consider the following; There are a few reasons for making this hellthread, and if you know me well enough on Nostr you would know I don’t care about followers or zaps! It’s about the following so please before you judge, dislike or mute; - this time I on purpose did NOT add a lot of ‘high profile’ nostriches this enabled me to add more NEW accounts and nostriches that had never been added before or participated - This enables more newbies to be exposed to other nostriches and connect, and to feel included-we can at times create and stay in our echo chamber we don’t grow like this. - Also to test the different clients out there, what functionality they can better, it’s good feedback for the devs to receive. - In the past week there’s been a lot of negativity surrounding women and people leaving nostr, I wanted to bring some ‘fun’ back to Nostr and have people enjoy it again. - And lastly there’s people on it that don’t know about the weekly nest programs or the weekly corny chat programs, or even some podcasters. Before you judge this exercise, think about how YOU can connect with some of these newer accounts. Bring them into your circle, let them know about your podcast or cornychat program or nest chat. Some people have taken advantage of this and looked at the positives of this hellthead, allow yourself to do so as well. This is how we grow Nostr. I put a lot of work into these, and between this and a Nostr Booth I am trying to grow Nostr - before you judge me, think about what are you doing to grow Nostr? 💜🧡🫂 #nostr #grownostr

Marie my friend, your hellthreads are a riot. It’s like a bunch of people all of a sudden wake up and realize they’re at a party and hadn’t even realized it. Anyone is free to come and go, but it can be a fun place to hang and it’s so clearly done with good intent. Does it destroy my notifications for a few days? Sure. But clients do (and/or should) provide users a way to manage any frustration. More importantly, it brings people together. I reconnect with nostriches I haven’t talked to in months, thanks to these threads. I find new people to follow. And I laugh my ass off at some of the replies. To me, the only shortcoming is that we can’t make it even bigger. (Seriously). Hurt feelings aside, I believe there are plenty of people who would appreciate being included simply to meet new peoples enjoy the the lolz. And if someone wants out, it’s easy. (You’re also considerate so I’m sure if someone asks to be left off the next one, you’ll gladly oblige). Keep it up. Not too frequently 😉 but also keep ‘em coming. It adds value. Love you 💜🫂🤙🫡

Gm. I’d heard the term helltread & didn’t give it much consideration at the time. Many thanks for adding me, I’ve had my feed turned upside down, inside out and been exposed to loads of new #nostards Mission accomplished for this #pleb 💜🫂🚀

I thought people were on the Nostr because anyone can post whatever the fuck they want and nobody can do anything about it (aka "muh censorship-resistance"). Maybe I misunderstood. 🤷🏻‍♂️
