Derek Ross doesn't care about nostr's growth He gaslit and muted me for talking about how we need the tools to fix hashtags on nostr, and his position was that supposedly we already had the tools (we didn't) Then later he made a post saying hashtags only work on paper and they're impossible to fix, but he still didn't apologize to me How the fuck do so many people ignore shit like this and keep treating him like a good guy?

He has his opinions about hashtags, but he does seem interested in growing #nostr (which benefits him and all those who love it). Having a difference in takes doesn’t have to equate to gaslighting. And indeed, some people mute others and that is the way they choose to curate their feed. Sorry it affects you in this manner, and that you clashed in your paths

I didn't equate a difference in takes to gaslighting, I pointed out that what he did was gaslighting, which it was He wouldn't gaslight me and mute me for trying to help nostr grow if he cared about shit If he cared about shit, he sure as fuck wouldn't refuse to apologize for gaslighting me after changing his position from "hashtags are perfect already how dare you suggest we need another tool" to "hashtags can't work even though we haven't even fucking tried building the tools that should make hashtags work"
