It’s a lot more drastic than it may seem to you, esp because my posts are labelled as illegal or malicious because of the false reports. I can tell because a lot of ppl don’t see or reply to them.
Having a different opinion isn’t a valid reason to censor someone, but reports are abused by the popular bitcoin accounts for that purpose.
I can sure you, you will never be censored by me on the relay level anyways. It’s not enough, but there is a difference between disagreement and being a bad actor, and you’ve given me no reason to see you as one.
Report mobbing is a predictable side effect of the current system. Called it ages ago.
I run a public relay now too. Let me know if you want the URL.
Sure, send me your relay. I’ll probably make a new account soon because of how censored this one is tho.
I don't follow you & I can see your posts on Amethyst.
Given that, i still believe it's not a wide-block as
- Someone has to follow atleast 5 of the 12 people that have blocked you
- this condition is only on Amethyst & other clients don't filter basis reports afaik. Experienced users who typically use multiple clients can see your posts (& new ones are unlikely to follow all your reporters)
Having a different opinion is fine but how it comes across matters more.
And sometimes when your opinion is not valued/appreciated the better option is to stop.
You’re arguing for self censorship which is repugnant. People have a fundamental human right to free speech.
I don’t think you can see blocks, can you? Just reports. I think Damus also does something similar but you can’t opt out like you can on Amethyst.
