Unverified reports should not hold any value imo, let alone be used as the primary basis for censoring "bad stuff/people."

These reports are cheap, easy to manipulate, and completely influenced by human emotion/baises aka shitcoin.

Not mentioning the culture of Mob Rule and Public Policing they would encourage, I consider that worse than centralization.

I strongly disagree. I think they are an important tool to highlight bad actors everywhere and we have seen them working with many impersonators and scammy accounts in the past.

You will thank their existence when you report your first impersonator to alert your followers that that is not you.

And what about when someone who dislikes you reports you?

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

I have had over 670 reports over time. I think right now I still have around 130 reports. Nothing has changed to you folks :)

But people we never interacted with get auto blocked for weird stuff?

Vitor Pamplona 2y ago

You might have. But if you did, you would have seen my posts with a warning and a "Show Anyway" button on them. And you could then assess if the report is valid or not.

When I checked my security filter, you weren't there but Fractal was. Did he have more reports than you?

The security filter only adds the auto-spam stuff (5 equals messages). Reported people don't get added to the filter.
