You’re being rate limited then. Those restrictions get worse over time, never better. Good on you for not giving in yet though! I made the assumption you were a blue check and I had no way to verify.
Still, many users DO give up personal information by design, especially big accounts. Why would you want to give energy to that system?

Ok I’ll bite. I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong, if I am. I’ll download Twitter right now just to see what information it would take for me to get a blue check.
In terms of the “Nostr circlejerk” I agree that Nostr is a community of very like minded individuals. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to try and “wake up” others online, but I’ve never found any success.
It’s hard to know if you’re even talking to a real person, much less what their views are and how best to reach them.
I come to Nostr to share ideas and learn from an online community which I enjoy being a part of, not to educate the masses.
People in the real world who are connected with us physically are the types of people it’s more important to wake up, and that’s where I fight that battle.
No blue check without at least verifying a phone number. Not to mention that you have to pay somehow (probably debit or credit card) and you were asked for an email and date of birth upon sign up (these are easily spoofed but most won’t).
I would be shocked if you were using this platform without leaking absolutely all of your privacy, especially seeing as you claim to have a blue check.


Out of curiosity, what do you think your success metric is for helping “wake up” people over there?
