Would be nice not to wake up, log into a fringe freedom-tech protocol I’ve been devotedly using, and find myself being called a pig. I haven’t even had my coffee yet, so gfy.

pig is a technical term for something that hogs resources, like file size. I don’t think the site is calling users pigs

It's also the technical term for me sometimes though to be fair. I do eat too much sometimes.

Again, tell that to your girlfriend or mother-in-law. Not everyone here is technical, nor should they be expected to interpret insider jargon when using a social app.

I am not sure why you are reacting this way, this isn't a platform, this is a protocol. Additionally, I am just sharing interesting things from nsites. But ok, I'll bite. Try loading your profile image as one of the 90% of people in the world who don't have cheap access to bandwidth, and where 50MB consumes 5% of a 1GB top-up.

You are a sandwich and you said you will bite, that's the more terrifying thing I've ever thought of.

I am not a protocol engineer. I am a regular person. I have no intuitive reason to know that a profile picture is supposedly hogging resources for other people. Expecting normal users to understand that is insane. If this matters that much, it should be made clear in onboarding instead of expecting people to just know. This is beyond my personal reaction. Put yourself in the shoes of your non-technical friends. ‘3.4 MB’ means nothing to me. Not because I don’t care, but because it is outside the scope of a normal user’s reality.

And the 🤮 reaction kind of proves my point. The issue is not that I reacted. The issue is that you publicly put me on a ‘PFPigs’ board with pig imagery and tagged me in it, then acted confused that I didn’t find it charming, while also expecting me to somehow know that my PFP was apparently the wrong size.

Don't put yourself down. Normal people are not even here. Normal is poison. You didn't know, now you do. Knowledge++

I don’t even see any words here all I see is oink oink

Don’t take it personally. Most of the nerds and devs on nostr are autistic and can’t put themselves in the shoes of their ordinary users. They think we spend our free time reading GitHub repos or whatever they call that shit 🤣

hey, lil missy herdemocracy!ever think maybe since you apparently know FUCK ALL about computers you should just shut your fucking mouth and put the fucking thing down and go get your entitled niggerbitch ass educated? you know, rather than dragging the fucking universe down to your apparently quite retarded level (doesnt get mb?) gfy. #ngmi #repealthe19th
