If “accidentally checked notifications when non-important people comment but they’re still fresh” qualifies, then sure.
And I do tend to get provoked on repetitious thematic items. People who do the “reply guy” thing for 25+ cynical posts in a row on any medium start to look like losers. I’m usually nice for like five times and then after that I’m like, “this is either a retard or someone purposely trolling.”
I don’t want you to look like a loser, Frank. You’re here on Nostr persistently and don’t even like bitcoin. That’s fine. That’s why I haven’t muted you yet but probably will soon like I do with bots increasingly, since you’re almost as predictable as bots now. I only mute bots and pseudo-bots.
Instead, I invite you to emotionally redirect however you see fit and recalibrate as a real person as though us Nostr folks were meeting in real life.
Because I highly doubt, if we had a Nostr meetup, you’d talk to me in person as you do here. I’ve had more meetups with people here than you probably have. In the flesh. I’d talk to you nearly the same in person as I do here. And I meet so many online critics at major events that become polite pussy cats face to face. Most enemies that tend to be the weird “online only” enemies tend to be way more polite in person.
I start out with the *shocking* notion that we are all real people having a virtual conversation online. I keep underestimating how inhuman most people get when they are distanced from social impacts face to face and so forth. They become weaker versions of themselves, and thus become ignorable not-like entities amid the bots.
That’s how I view you. I think and hope in real life that you’re a stronger and broader version of the narrow cynic you present on Nostr, because nobody who bothers to be here this long is as pathetic as your persona in real life. It would be sad if that was a real view. You’re better than what you present.
And yet, my weakness is that I resist the urge to mute unimportant people because I keep hoping that they will undergo the hero’s journey or “adulthood” and start acting in virtual world similarly to how they act in real life.
