We tried to onboard a real-life human female, and she got piled on, by a bunch of memers, and was mass-muted into Nostr nonexistence because she's not a native English speaker and they claimed she writes like a bot. Then I pointed out that our team's sys admin knows her personally, and they were like "Nobody knows him; he's just a scammer." That doesn't happen, in communities.

Yeah, it got ugly. Nobody ever apologized, either. I guess you got here after they tried to chase me off with dickpics and scat-eating pics in my replies, rape threats or threats to come to my house, bot armies aimed at me, etc. Had to constantly report, report, report, which is why I usually only read from relays I control, now. Theforest is the result of me trying to figure out how to use Nostr without just being harrassed, the whole time. That's why I know so much about how all this works.

Never thought I would ever use the phrase "toxic bitcoiners" in the Bitcoin community, but yes, they are overinfluential in nostr. Do most communities get along well?
