This is hard. 🧠πŸ”₯ Tags because you don't even want to SEE the active conflicts that other folks are LIVING?! You don't even have to experience it due to your privilege, but you don't even want to WITNESS it. This is a hard line to toe in today's increasingly dystopian world. Aside from genuine mental health problems, everyone needs to show solidarity somehow and if this small a touchpoint isn't even on cards.....chat, we're cooked. 🚨 View quoted note β†’

Agreed. Which is why were saying this is such a hard line to toe. This is also the reason why no one shows their sympathies for Gaza, Sudan, Congo, etc...because we avert our eyes at everything. Not saying we need to get used to gore, but we could all do with getting used to a wee bit more of reality...
That wasn't the point. But okay then, why don't you recommend folks to follow on Nostr who are talking about these 3 genocides specifically? There are several more. We've had to follow-unfollow a bunch of problematic folks who have deeply racist, misogynistic, white-supremist views, so that def wasn't for lack of trying.
Ya, that wasn't very helpful. We're focused on spreading awareness πŸ‘οΈ Don't appreciate the lecture on what we have/haven't done with limited assumptions as in your past 2 replies. You look at the US, we look at the world, we are not the same. The follower count is an old-fashioned Twatter vanity metric. Fascists and white supremacists on #Nostr have 20,000+ followers. Says more about you for revering them than it says about us. Do better. Don't like what we post, don't consume it. We have several interactions with people who don't follow us. We chase the ✨Truth, we speak it too, nobody will stop us. Our original point about the Act of Witnessing stands valid βš”οΈπŸ›‘οΈ~ LG
You're only surprised because you're likely on that side yourself. One good, informed look at the content they post shows everything. We champion morality and integrity. But we don't have time to argue with the clutches-their-pearls and US-is-the-world approach. ~ KM
Accounts like us strive to, but they won't get their spotlight or the vanity metric of many followers, because people don't like reading about the truth. It's okay tho, this is an age-old consciousness battle ✨🧠 We'll fight the good fight for as long as we can. Because we Should.
