You ever go to someone's profile and notice they no longer follow, feel a slight rise in blood pressure, then later notice it was only a nostr glitch later? 😅

Time to touch grass? 🤣
Not even first time it's happened. I'm ashamed of myself on a few levels
Relays take time to load the info. Definitely happens
I just assume people think my posts are too boring.
Would you like to borrow my knife fight video. That's a real follower reducer🥳.
unfollowed
j/k =P
Well, I have some people that stop following me...no blood pressure, just curiosity why, because at some point we did interact. Like @Gigi for example and Source (can't add him with @)
🤷♀️
I have people I enjoy interacting with that followed me for a while but now unfollow me. I still follow them and comment and zap because I enjoy their notes.
I sometimes wonder what I posted that prompted them to cut me off their feed but it's their feed. If they didn't value my content that's not my problem. I still wish them blessings.
Mood mismatch. Person A in one mood, person B in another. They unfollow for a while. Refollow later. Honestly, follow label is not a very good way to judge relationships. Need some better way.
Don't forget about lists. I hope people I have put on different lists don't think I've unfollowed them totally. I've removed about 50 from my main follow list recently, to put in different lists.
I think we all feel it for a split second. And thanks
That is the ultimate unfollow tech. I hesitate to even reply as I know it will only tempt you...
Need to show on your profile the top Nostriches who have zapped you. Money talks.
lol. Oof, the tag...
It's usually a client error, but sure sometimes it's real. It's just easy/natural to feel judged, but there are many possible reasons, and we shouldn't confuse "follows" with friends anyway imo. Or even liking someone for that matter
You're safe🙏🏻.
I don't judge... People can unfollow me if they wish too. But it sparkles curiosity at my end, when is someone I do care.
@Gigi I think it was because I made a joke about the "Gigi and" x number" others. I don't even remember the joke, It was just me being silly as usual, and no harm intended but coincidentally or not, he did unfollow me. I understand that sometimes, some jokes can sit not well. I am aware.
I have a friend here, that I know on real life that also unfollowed me. You would never guess we are friends and talk outside Nostr. It's weird, but I do respect and let him be.
That’s a good idea. Snort did this for the longest time
I unfollow friends all the time when they are in a hissy mood. It doesn’t mean anything, I just don’t want their day rubbing off on mine and sometimes unfollow is the easiest way to clear your timeline for a few days. Muting works but then you forget to unmute. With unfollow you still see their notes if others reshare and you don’t forget they exist - I think it’s better than mute. Sometimes we get annoying to other people temporarily (who isn’t guilty of that) and that’s ok too. Other times it just posting too much at once or posting things about an issue people don’t care about - point is it can be any reason without any permanent judgment of that person.
True, is a good exercise on not taking personally others peoples actions.
Guilllllttyyyy
Well said. Yeah, that's why I never liked the "friend" language around things like Facebook. People take it personal enough without that connotation
I feel like Primal will randomly unfollow people for me and I constantly am re-following people I thought I already followed
I had an issue like that when I had differences in relays set on each client. Was months ago
Happens to me without the Nostr glitch 🥲
I think it’s by design to manufacture drama and draw attention to the platform
I wish Nostr used "subscribe" rather than "follow". I prefer the implication more, I'm subscribing to a feed, not following someone.
Good one.
Agree. Only cringe thing about the term is when streamers say "thanks for subbing ✌️"
But that's different ha
I follow a few people 👀👀
Yeah there's that, but it's a better term I think. Followers sounds inflooencery.
Default.
“Following” always confuses me. Am I looking at someone’s following or am I looking at who someone’s following. I already know I am retarded, no need to remind me.
Nope. I'd have to unfollow to see that, and I'd be worried they'd see I unfollowed.
Was not a conscious action. I follow almost a thousand people and use so many clients and other stuff that messes with my various things that I have to recover my bookmarks, my metadata, and my follow list periodically. Don't read too much into it.
Thank you, I won't. Appreciate you ! 🙌🫂
Followed. Don't think I ever unfollowed, and seemingly only seeing this note now 🫂
