Nostr Web Client

Thanks for the constructive and nuanced question Derek!

Sure, happy to explain. Our approach here is very simple. At this time there are only two reasons why an account would end up on the "can't trend" list:

1. They are spamming or gaming the trending algo. We curate this list manually to best of our abilities, while we work on improving the algo.

2. They post adult content. We don't have anything against adult content per se, we don't block it elsewhere. Our decision is simply to not promote it in the trending feed because that's not the type of service we are building.

If anyone thinks they ended up on the can't trend list erroneously, please let us know and we will take a look.

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg still my favorite web app for #nostr. I repost all sorts of adult content, could give two fucks about appearing in the "trending" sidebar, and still see content from all my followers. What I *don't* see is spambots, and other low quality shit, and tbqh am thankful their team does the heavy lifting there.

I would like to see the feed and sidebar respect my mute list (so I don't see reposts of folx on it) but I'm 100% confident Primal's team will get that sorted in a future update. For now ublock takes care of the trending bar for me, and who knows? I might make a PR for the mute annoyance if time permits - but I'm not a funded dev I'm a mercenary.
