## You might want to skip to the end of this post.

[1] I just noticed the Primal trending feed is full of spam bots again, while my recent posts about planning action for the Sumud flotilla get almost no engagement, and I see no posts about the Sumud flotilla by people whose npubs are considered "better than spam bots" to actually show up above the spam wall.

Does anyone remember last time I posted about this? I was extremely enraged for days. Primal never responded, and I was too angry to keep checking if it was an ongoing issue. Looks like it has probably been ongoing the whole time.

ODELL was clearly purely gaslighting when he said Primal doesn't target or censor my npub. Having a wall of spam bots (and ignoring reports about it) isn't even pretending not to censor people - me and so many others. Continuing to repeat the claims while being so blatantly obvious about their falsehood isn't normal lying: it's gaslighting.

[2] This is also in addition to Primal never giving me a single push notification... another issue which nobody at Primal has ever replied to me about, no matter how many times I've posted about it. [3] I don't think they've ever responded to any of my other reports about other notification issues, either. Maybe they should have fixed other issues with in-app notifications before trying to launch push notifications.

[4] This is all in addition to Primal censoring my posts in the past, participating in undermining my rights as a citizen, participating in ostracizing me at a life-or-death level of severity, and implicitly making me pay them to stop, instead of trying to stop me from being ostracized and murdered as thanks for contributing content to the nostr network (or better yet, paying me).

[5] This is in addition to Primal taking away the "my tribe" feed that let me see posts from my followers, and then ignoring my continually repeated requests to bring it back. They told me they took it away because it was too expensive to operate, which was another of the reasons I felt pressured to pay them for Primal "Legends" when it launched.

[6] This is in addition to Primal dev "Pavle" harassing me, gaslighting me, and threatening vague further actions against me in the past. I had already previously paid for Primal's so-called "Legend" label in response to a more subtle level of intimidation - did he think being 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 subtle would lead to even better results? Kinda weird.

[7] This is in addition to Primal's "advanced" search being broken for me, the devs replying once (after ignoring multiple posts) to say I found a bug and they'd fix it, before continuing to ignore all my posts about it for more months, and then [8] making the issue worse by adding post deletions, while still never fixing the original issue (thus making it harder for me to finish this list, dispute lies about past nostr interactions, etc.)

This is in addition to Primal ignoring all my posts about various issues in general, no matter how big or how small - except the rare times they reply to gaslight and waste my time before stopping replying again mid-conversation, like [9] the time I caught them changing my key's settings without permission and nostr:npub1zga04e73s7ard4kaektaha9vckdwll3y8auztyhl3uj764ua7vrqc7ppvc started a brief reply chain of nonsense.

[10] I think they've ignored all my posts about how urgently nostr needs a javascript-free Onion service, which their caching service makes them uniquely positioned to offer.

[11] I asked them once if they were working on implementing edits - they didn't respond.

[12] I've posted multiple times about how urgent it seems to add key rotation to nostr and how insanely long it's taking. They should at least let "Legend" status be transferred between keys. I don't recall ever getting a response from Primal about this.

[13] When I couldn't get the Primal app to load at all for days, they didn't reply to any of my posts about it. When I identified the issue and pointed out how this testing/debugging is another thing I should be paid for instead of being forced to pay them, they didn't reply about that either. I also don't think they fixed the bug.

[14] When I noticed the Primal Android app hiding a post by my favorite npub (also a paid Primal subscriber) while the same post was showing in the web app, they offered no explanation.

[15] Speaking of Primal offering no explanation: I still have no idea what the fuck a "subwallet event" is.

[16] When I pointed out that someone disliking a post was shown in Primal as LIKING it, they didn't respond about that. Maybe they at least actually fixed it by now, unlike many other things on this list.

[17] Every time Primal has turned one of my replies into its own post, they've ignored my reports about it.

[18] When one of my posts was manipulated by a Primal quote-displaying issue to make it look like I supported KYC, they never responded about it.

[19] When I pointed out that Primal's stack seems too centralized to uphold their offer of archiving "Legend" posts forever, they never responded.

[20] This is all in addition to Primal running a KYC Lightning wallet, and refusing to support simple on-chain addresses for Bitcoin, Monero, or doggie coin. 

[21] Another thing Primal has ignored my reports about - the "media" view in profiles being an incomplete view, but not making that clear to users. Just now, the attached meme didn't show up where it should have in my "media" view, which made it hard to find.

[22] This reminds me how Primal fucks with media embeds every possible way they can: refusing to support webm, insisting images have to be at the bottom of a post, remember that scandal when they started caching images without notifying users and it caused issues? They ignore my posts about these things too, of course.

[23] When I noticed how, instead of blocking YouTube links from generating preview cards by default like a nostr app should do, they went the opposite direction and seemingly changed the appearance of YouTube videos to seem integrated with the app, they didn't respond about that. Of course, later they started saying "fuck YouTube" - but they still never started replying to my posts about how we need a bittorrent-based YouTube clone, or anything serious like that.

[24] This is all in addition to Primal doing the Elon scheme of pretending to "fight for free speech" while making people fucking pay money for basic features social media used to offer in exchange for user data, before the internet became so heavily censored.

[25] This is all in addition to Primal having fucking email instead of nostr as their default support contact method.

[26] This is all in addition to the Android app being on Google Play and GitHub, but not F-Droid.

[27] This is all in addition to every issue I've forgotten about, because it wasn't big enough to add to the entire clusterfuck of ignored discussion attempts (or because Primal won't let me find it in their still-broken "advanced" search, and nostr.band is also too broken to find more, with a query for posts by me about Primal just returning all posts by Primal about anything instead)

[28] This is all in addition to the entire tech industry lying and gaslighting the general public to manipulate and control everyone. Primal looks like a part of that.

This is all in addition to the authorities operating with no legitimacy, no adherence to the constitution, fake laws that stop me from protecting myself, all while doing nothing to stop the people who target me.

This is all in addition to the American people being turned into tax slaves, while the black people were never given the 40 acres and mules Lincoln promised them.

We have an FBI run by people who never punished their precursors for killing Martin Luther King Jr.; who have cooperated with my gangstalkers to intimidate me by sending detectives to my residence when I lived in New York; who have never punished abuses of authority against me, by people, with badges, committing far worse crimes than anyone I know; who I believe might kill me, lock me up, or lock up my enemies to get me killed, but I do not believe will ever actually help me by doing their jobs to uncover information we the people need investigated for our protection.

We have a term called "doublespeak" for things like this - a bureau of "investigation" whose job is actually to hide information and intimidate truth-tellers. An "abolishment of slavery" where everyone is enslaved. A "government" run by half-assed anarchists too cowardly to support either real anarchy or real governance.

Primal looks like a part of that. A "free speech" app, where you pay people who intimidate you, muffle you, and perhaps someday silence you. Simple doublespeak.

You know what else really sucks?

Think about how long it took me to make this post.

Imagine if the tech overlords allowed me to use that time in discussions with people who want to prepare to take action supporting the Sumud flotilla.

Imagine how much of my time has been wasted with shit like this.

Just the pure time and energy cost. And meanwhile, surely these other people have to waste some time and energy finding all these ways to waste mine.

These people work hard to stop anyone from doing useful shit, so they can continue trying to make all known life extinct with pollution.

Imagine working hard to stop other people from doing anything useful? If it weren't for that type of human, maybe I could have done something useful enough to impress Digit and regain contact with her by now.

Imagine if Bluesky and Primal were the decentralized censorship-resistant apps they claim to be - instead of one app I'm banned from (for standing up to liars), and another app I'm shadowbanned on (for standing up to liars).

Imagine if a good nostr app had as much support behind it as Primal.

Imagine if any nostr app had as many active users as Bluesky.

Will any good nostr app outgrow Facebook, X, and YouTube before all the sick mass murder supporters finish their extinction drive?

Who knows?

## Ignore those 28 points. Right this minute, I don't really care if I get a response to a single one of them.

## No matter who you are, from a Primal dev to a nostr beginner, these are the 2 questions that need answers right now:

# 1. What are you going to do if the Sumud Flotilla is stopped from reaching Gaza?

# 2. What are you going to do if Israel does much worse to the flotilla than simply stop them?

If you don't feel safe typing your answers, just think them - but please don't let people manipulate you to ignore what's important. 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐧. Stop letting them be buried under a wall of spam bots. Thank you.
