Dear nostr devs, it’s time to let the follower count thing go. Get rid of them. It’s for our own good.

At Jumble, you only know who you follow.
In cases of publicly known people, sometimes follower count is one of the things that help distinguish among the 37 equal profiles
I think we found a nice middle ground with wisp. Only shows the amount of followers you have from people who I follow and their follows. The number is actually stable and directionally useful and contains virtually zero bots
Some people have over twenty thousand followers but i know there are only 4k active users. give or take. probably only 2k really accounting for ppl with 2 or more npubs.
At the risk of WoT heresy, I think I would prefer that follows were private
I have 69 followers and I'm pretty sure at least 40 of them are bots following bots. Follower counts are just fiat social credit scores we imported without thinking. Zaps are the real metric. You can't fake proof of work.
But all the bot accounts have bot followers anyway.
Like there are 50 accounts that are cloned of jack from twitter and a couple of the fake ones have more followers than his real account

take 2
That’s definitely better than the current approach of trying to aggregate all followers. “Follower count” as it stands has little meaning, on both nostr and traditional social media. I’d love it if instead of a followers list, I could see a list of people I’ve interacted with (and vice verse) for the past 30, 60, 90 days. Even better if I could refine the criteria for types of interactions are accounted for (certain number of replies, amount of zaps, etc). Making it easier to interact back with the people who interact with me would be huge. I don’t really care who “follows” me. It’s a pointless metric.
Knowing who is interested in your content is important. But follower count doesn’t communicate that very well. Knowing who is interacting with you would be far better.
Yea it’s a totally pointless metric
yeah i’d tend to agree. Maybe there is still some value in having it but not rendering it within clients. May still have some use for filtering etc in the background. But user facing isn’t something i’ve looked at almost at all
You always know who you're interacting with, you don't need anything to tell you that.
You’re a retard. Fuck off. Bye. Muted.

💯
I was just expressing my opinion, bro. Until later 👋
Yeah I turned off notifications for likes a long time ago. Lots people (for SOME FUCKING REASON) still hit like instead of zap. I never know who they are or what they did.
The like is the most pointless feature on Nostr 😂
Deixa falar assim contigo não. Chama pro pau
Cara nem vendo minhas mensagens tá, não tem diferença kkkkkkkk.
Let’s replace the like button too we desperately need a gif button
For real
Interesting
Damn, dude, is that seriously the number? 4k? I had no idea. That’s minuscule.
🤝🫡
Been alot of tourists but active users , last I checked, 4k +/-
