I blocked my first user on Nostr this morning.
I hit me unexpectedly because everyone has been very genuine. I haven’t seen any of the trolling and negativity I see elsewhere. It’s been wonderful.
So now I’m wondering Are people on Nostr getting creepy DMs and inappropriate comments here too?
I thankfully have not.
The objectionable post I saw this morning was meant to precipitate a strong reaction.
I felt provoked but chose not to engage.
It only took me a moment to find the block button.
I realized in that moment that we need to be careful and measured in our response to these problems.
