This only works if people follow those bots. WoT uses info (reports, mutes, etc) from people you follow to work, not from everyone on Nostr. It's a good reason to keep people you trust in your follow list, not a bunch of randoms.

Idk about that one Ryan it only working on people you follow. Thus whole rely on people you follow is not good for this. You follow people because you like their content not because you trust them. Also what said before plays heavily into it which contributes to the problem it brings.
There are 2 spam blocking features in Amethyst.
1. It looks at your follows, and who they block & report. If the number is greater than 5, you get a "click to show" with a list of the users who have them blocked.
2. It looks at people sending the *exact* same message multiple times in a row. If a user is just spamming the same message, they are muted.
So who banned nostr:nprofile1qqsds3ghsq4yx36hc44wseptl76dymj6mcr3ypfh2qs4dq8439h90xcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd968qatwdvhxvmf0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj78zxkhy and how did that carry over to me?
I don't like it, I've never banned or muted anyone (only one or two CSAM bots like two years ago) as I consciously make an effort to rather ignore than block or mute.
So that was almost zero for both.
But I went to check something and I saw so many blocked accounts that I know I never ever did.
That's shadow banning imo
And you wouldn't even know given if you don't check.
I don't like it.
I'm not sure why he was blocked. But that's why there is an option to disable it. There was a fork called onyx that I linked to in another comment, that didn't have these spam blocking features enabled. Once Vitor added the options, that fork was stopped, because it was no longer necessary.
Right. Maybe I'm just lazy, but to have to go and actively change this feels wrong. Should be the other way, no?
You put on the filters you want, you mute and block who you want etc.
