I couldn't resist. I've been having a melt down over how hard some of this is check out my #killnostr hashtag. #smij is cry/laughing at himself and the ridiculous hopium here.

Hey, #[4] can I have a hug?
Ahahah all good Man! 🫂💜😂😅
This is often me..
I hate that I keep asking my mom if she wants penis when i stop over for dinner. so I just call her now. she likes that better
Nostr Elites unite!
Why does that list exist and how is it maintained?
Those are the "recommended npubs" from Primal. They just write the list themselves.
The tried to plebicize it, once, but it just ended up a slightly-longer list, with the same sort of entries.
Th why I dp believe was because of the issue for new users to not follow anyone.. but I do believe would better to create a list that changes depending on hastag, or topic or words nost used. So like "Show me the users that use #bitcoin words more, or "economic" "nature" "art" and so on..
A static list is nosense..
Indeed.. I do remember that note.
Much better when a single users put down his best follows without none asking.. we used to that in the first months.
#plebchain was a great and organic method to create a nice follow list.. few.
They should not be using a centralized list IMHO.
Well, too late, now. Damage is done. Elites entrenched.
I feel so close, yet so far away.
Absolutely. It's against many reason I got here in first place..
I like a square where there's no podium created for some tonbe more visible.
That's yucky. There should be no default follows except maybe Tom from MySpace.
Uhmm.. I am not sure I agree, there's time to save all the new npubs that are about to come in the next months and years..
We should just shill less Primal as first entry.
There should be only DEV as first follow.. the main one that worked on nostr clients and protocol.. that's the only "elite" I would be ok to be shilled.. they do the work, they often are not acknowledged.
It’s fixable.
@miljan How about rethinking this stuff to make it organic and pleb-driven?
He has never responded to me or anything referring to me. 😅
Indeed, I do believe is fixable and he can create a better solution..
For me the solution is give more power and tools to the user.. and the user should take responsibility and more action knowing the tools 🍀🫂🔥
I don't think it's directly fixable, TBH. You can only create new types of use cases and someone could make a name for themselves there, so that you end up with smaller hierarchies where the elites aren't automatically at the top.
You can't go back and reorder a social media hierarchy. They just compound, like interest. Every person who shows up will follow the same people as everyone else and add a few more, so first come, first serve.
Social media has such a low barrier to entry (post "GM", "stack sats", or a selfie or AI pic, once per week or month) that there's no real way to catch up through effort or talent. You have to shine someplace else and that might carry back over to social media because we don't have silos.
I see, yeah you are right about the compound effect..
For this reason on my side, when i noticed new user on my notifications or comments, I try to check through their notes and repost notes I liked.
Repost is so underrated.. one repost is much more valuable than a 1000 sats if reposted at the right time by an account with more followers.
I just want to send my note and send GM and zap 🗒️ 😨 I didn’t even know that there was elite in #nostr
What I do is always debug my lists.
just a pleb ✅
likes freedom ✅
likes kind people ✅
do not care about elite ✅
That last one is so sus, fr. 😂🤷♀️
list refactoring
Yup.
Yup.
🎯 Is there a link to the note itself?
Second that. Also because that tells you who to zap and informs you of updates.
I hope this works👇

Lol..
Well, you were The primalRaper or something similar.. 😂😂😜🫂🤙
Best son on #nostr.. 🫂💜😂
🫂
Come out and fight like a man, Milan. 😂
Elites dont answer the plebs because they are afraid that they cant control the conversation
They can't. That's why it's fun. The pleb gains, even if they lose. The elite usually loses, even if they win.
Do you own any unregistered firearms?
Nostr's version of Tom
Its a matter of time to plebs understand that the only thing the "elites" want from the is attention and says.
As an extreme plebeian, who never mastered the social part of social media, I rail against the upper 90%.
🤣
Elite
Tribunes
Plebians
Extreme Plebians
Slaves
This is critical theory applied to nostr.
💯
That's a bad thing
I'm confused, are you endorsing critical theory?
it's easy not to show up there 😏
You are just here to shut down the conversation because it contradicts what you see as the Natural Order.
I won't engage you on this.
Cough cough…censorship
LOL Haven't forgotten.
wow, over a 1,000 people saw this post.. Incredible!!
Meanwhile, many new users are willingly using primal, with kyc, trending… 🙄
I wish all of the clients would stop doing this! It’s very dumb way
Yes, I am aware that acting in bad faith by refusing to engage in rational debate is a tenet of critical theory.
It’s the old twitter way. We don’t need it
💯
I want your heart to get healed. ❤️
primal is poopy
#nostrudel for life
sadly
He legit just wrote a screed accusing me of some woke American academic theory. 👀
america home of the knave?
but circular economy growth in Port/land oregon is encouraging/boots on the ground
It actually derives from postmodern theory which originated from French philosophers. The issue is in America we take bad ideas and export them to the world.
I normally like your stuff, but this misses the mark. You're defining the elite by behaviors you don't like so as to push a usage pattern you'd prefer. This among other things puts you in the nostr elite. I think of elite theory mostly through a lens of Pareto distributions. It is worth arguing that we should encourage a more healthy distribution, but trying to distinguish yourself from others in that part of the distribution is a very elite thing to do.
they deserve it ... selling your soul to the devil should be rewarded with follows 😂
Since we are the devils, we could at least follow them 😂💜🫂🍀🤙🔥😜
😂😂😂😂😂
Except that I noted repeatedly that I am increasingly fighting the tendency to act like this, myself, because I find it so irritating when other people do.
And, apparently, I'm not the only one who finds it irritating or counterproductive.
I'm in the line of fire, now, because I wrote a common complaint down so clearly that they finally can't ignore it.
View quoted note →As a dev, I disagree with this. I think it's far far better to provide new accounts categories of hashtags they can follow, or pubkeys that are associated with a topic.
that's why he is a safer choice than the easter bunny or jesus christ.
Primal's VC funding is not a secret.
I like the idea of including a project feed or npub in the About page, or something. The documention in the Wiki, for instance.

I am saying also this since a couple of months 🔥🤙🫂🍀

Hey, respect the hustle. 🤙
True, and I'll zap you anyway 😂
I fun'd to date.....lfg/
I am going to keep commenting on this so it stays trending
11. Your popularity will save Nostr.
My man!
bingo!
At least you're working hard for all your well-deserved follows!
🎯 well said!
I recently wanted to try primal for the first time, but stopped immediately when I had to register with an e-mail address.
It totally defies the whole idea of #nostr where staying anonymous is a possible path for all those who want to use it in that way.
Please let's try and keep it like this
you contribute working software to nostr
Well, I don't mind him getting mad and muting me. I do it myself, all the time, even if I hardly have anyone muted, anymore. Most of them probably have me muted, anyway.
But the accusation that I'm pushing some weird American academic social philosophy because I made a pointed critique about drive-by posters from X and Instagram, is ridiculous.
I don't think he's upset that I wrote this, tho. It was just me shitposting and ranting, as per usual.
I think he's upset that so many people liked it.
We are all leet on this blessed day.

You might be a Nostr Elite if...
1) You have over 1000 followers, but only post every couple of days or weeks.
2) You are famous from "someplace else", so you don't feel like you need to prove anything to anyone and expect everyone to recognize you from there.
3) You hardly follow anyone else, who isn't an elite, or your follow list is stale and you don't care.
4) You rarely repost anyone else's stuff or hang out in their threads.
5) You rarely respond to mentions or tags, unless they're from another elite, and you feel put-upon by them.
6) You don't actively search for new npubs to follow or interact with.
7) You mostly repost things you've posted elsewhere.
8) You post things and then only respond for a short time.
9) When someone reposts you, you don't feel curious to find out more about them.
10) You think there is no Nostr Elite.

im just glad to hear weve got an export still
Hey, we Commies are allowed to use Nostr, too! 😂
reds can show up all they like but they have to deal with sharp tongued misesians
meanwhile....
tick tock
nobody cares
Ive been here since jack's tweet and am approaching 1k followers per primal but i dont think people generally care about my notes or replies.
And i mostly follow "elites" 😂
My nostr experience is great
oh please someone make a "Sharp-Tongued Misesian" badge 😂
Welp, LFG!!
Love it 🤝
No, this is not. Geez.
You really don't know Stella very well if you say this.
As long as you're polite about it.
How so?
I’ll stay calm, it looks like I’m not in the Elite 😌
You of all people 😂🫂
I think you might take yourself too seriously. I don't even follow you, much less keep obsessive account of reactions to your notes. It caught my eye because this "elites" or "priesthood" stuff crops up on nostr every so often, and it's divisive and pointless. I don't know why people have to fight over their slice of the (so far nonexistent) pie. Doing so jeopardizes the whole project.
But I do want to apologize for the way I said what I did, because it contributed to the problem. I was not focused on you, but on your rhetoric, and so failed to follow James 3, Romans 12:18, and just treat you like a person. Please forgive me for that.
there is some truth in your words
Now that I’m a member of the Nostr Elite, I no longer stop at stoplights.
And I never pay for gum.
I closed a door on someone today instead of holding it open as I screamed in Karen fashion that I am a nostr Elite. I mean these plebs really think they have rights? Um, I don’t think so 💁♂️
I found out someone I was talking to had less than 1000 followers, so I pulled them out of the car through the window and made them peel my grapes 🍇
Lmao
No way they had a car. Prolly a junk yard bike if we are being honest here.
Did I say car? I meant metro bus.
😂
Amem to that.
Penisbutter
He will now ignore me even harder.
And I will no longer market his product. which he never noticed or appreciated, anyway, so he won't miss it.
nice. There are some parallels to the early Twitter influencers who were all tech journos or entrepreneurs. Very different vibe on nostr, though
Denying that there is a hierarchy, when we can map it from the public data set, is ridiculous.
And complaining that some of the people higher in the hierarchy are too aloof, distant, indifferent, or self-serving, is as old as humanity.
Bizarre to claim that is Marxism, on a platform full of rebellious Bitcoiners and Libertarians.
I also reject the logic of "Group A said X, so anyone who says X belongs to Group A". That is an obvious fallacy, unless you can prove that only Group A has ever said something like that.
That's the same lazy tactic they've used in Germany to denounce anyone critical of CBDCs, censorship, or open borders as "Nazis".
Cloudfodder's meme was so good. 😁🎯
I just choked on my coffee a little bit
We have made it #NostrElite
Did you get the appropriate badge, as well? And order the T-Shirt? 😂
#NostrElite
yes but you can't do this because point 10
Most of this can be explained by how much time one has available to spend interacting on nostr.
Well, he can't put the meme back into the box, and it's taken on a life of its own because it fit so well, so he'll just have to get over my expertise in defining and naming things and move on with his life.
Maybe the next time somebody @s someone else, or they see some newbie appear in their replies, they'll be more eager to respond.
Still waiting for my hug from Jack. 😂
That's true. 😂 Catch 22.
Yes, of course.
🤣🤣🤣
Was just getting excited and disqualified myself 🤣
Yeah, Odell was actually one of the first to zap and boost the list. 😂
It was such a good post, even tho it was just something I tapped in over 5 minutes.
Probably a bit too cutting, but I'm not really known for being nice.
😂
Damn, a lot of elite on here then!
I'm joining the NEF so I can be a Nostrelitist. I'm already SO close!
Brilliant and well said 😂
