I will be openly honest with you, I (and other users) keep seeing so many red flags with @NostrMagazine that it's hard to ignore: Look, don't get me wrong, I am one of the most bullish people here on #nostr and the ecosystem. I appreciate your responses; respectful disagreement is always appreciated. When @Nostr Compass released a few weeks ago I have been hyped to see them. The difference is in the approach and what appears to be highly questionable activities by you. - I feel that you literally just created a handful of personas. I took 1 minute to check into your "marketing accounts" and found fake profiles, and suspect analytics scores. Note I didn't call your accounts "bots", humans can run fake accounts too--it's kind of irrelevant to me either way. - For example @sarah has never posted any real comments, simply reposting generic content in the past. This type of account is generally created for intention of being resold/repurposed to make accounts seem older than they are. - These accounts have NO TRUST SCORES on profilestr.com and other user trust APIs. This is highly telling. Real accounts that purport to be years old would never have zero scores/unable to be found. - The profile pictures are just stock photography, bios highly fake. Real profiles don't really look like your marketing team, let alone seasoned nostriches. - The exact same thing with all the other account npubs I've listed above, which you claim are all individuals from your "marketing" team. Agis, Madrid, etc.. - Linguistic analysis points to all of these articles written by the same source, be it an AI or single author, I won't get into that, but human authors have differing voices, language usage and flair. - All these accounts look basically the same. Real individuals are vastly different and unique, they don't look like this. You even left the "Grok" watermark on some profile pictures: These are just a few of the issues I am seeing. Make of that what you will. :grimace: FYI to some of the others who have voiced concerns @npub104zp...85rf @nout @mar @Ryan View quoted note →

Update: they just hit my relay with a bunch of fake accounts spamming about their "articles", so I've gone ahead and blacklisted all of them including their main account from publishing on my public relay. For reference if anyone else wants to do the same, these are known fake accounts shilling #nostrmag @NostrMagazine: ``` 'bc58b531ebe1d4b6089ed346fbdb84d00fbcb619c26db6f303f7ffa4b4e4b5b7' // NostrMagazine main account - nostrmag spam '34d2619e68720360854828326d149415e96394b76a93d7c107556d57e5d0d9a8' 'aee9d7ac9343f48e00337a7b97d7ff4d3d7877dacbb3fcccc0dce2a81b2e0502' 'fe5915e97c59b0672a80351bd2e4a89d1414c56a25e74eab9b2ebc9014a8403b' '794833e538ff2acb9149a736cf02d30c6ae0022c76d2dd55b57e540dc2f9c731' 'd9c2ec9765485f7f39a1b59c4ef7578879d2d17908364e1031129cc7b72f692d' '9f59d9117ce44768cc2cf259735455dbeaf1a38ee7c90aec1c5de4e1294f166b' 'a8eeb2053dade88662496c468b92d425e3060af4dc32fc37a25abc99e35c7269' 'e4dd796a3c78d952c509fb9791449c15c837da408650d4a2fbcac0c42f63d1d1' ``` I'll be updating this as they create more fake accounts. :MEOWDY: #relays View quoted note →

I'm getting very tired of all of this @NostrMagazine spam. I may blacklist them and all related accounts from using the superfriends #relay because it's just absolutely excessive. :TheVoices: What the fuck are you guys doing? Do you really think this is helping your image? No legitimate publication should be resorting to these tactics. #nostr #relays

Anyone wanna place bets on whether Heathcliff will shit all over the cat carrier or at the vet's when I take him to the vet soon?🙈💩😼 #catstr View article →

Today it has been a week since the horrific incident of Heathie being hit by a car. Despite all odds, he's almost back to normal! 😼🐱 Poor furbol has a bit of a limp still, and he's not pooping daily. He's on antiinflammatories and painkillers, but his mood is great--much like his appetite! Tomorrow we'll bring him back to the vet for the one week check-up and review, and see what she says. Huge thanks to everyone who's been sending pawsitive words of support, means a lot! 🙏😻 #catstr View quoted note →

Hey @Derek Ross, I'm trying to use syncstr to sync up my profile, suspect it's rekt and fragmented across relays. But I've tried connecting syncstr to all my current relays on my list, and none of them can find my profile data. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks!

Hey @White Noise! Is there a way to send messages to myself, similar to the "Saved Messages" features of Telegram, WhatsApp and other messengers? I couldn't see a way to do it. I tried searching my own npub then starting a chat or adding to a group, but neither worked. I think it'd be great to be able to have this type of capability where I could store private messages/stuff to myself on my own Inbox relay.

Once again some #nostr application has wiped out my entire Following list. I'm so fucking tired of this, boss. It might have been keychat, but I'm not sure. :finnadie: :FLASHBANG: A tip I discovered: you can restore you latest followers if you go to the profilestr website and browse your profile. For example, mine is here:

arfonzo - Nostr Profile | Profilestr

profilestr has snapshots of your follower lists. Saved me from trying to hunt down ~350 followers again. :prayinghands:

As it says in my profile: 🤝 Here for the decentralisation, not for the maximalism. I see a lot of strong takes here on various topics: cryptos, code, politics, ideologies, etc.. I respect you all for holding your own beliefs (whatever they may be!) It would be nice if the same respect were given to everyone else. Allow people to be individuals with their own beliefs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER :MEOWDY:
