Are mute / block lists on nostr public?
Discussion
They can be both. Depending on how your client stores them. Amethyst stores them privately.
Thank you for clarifying. I don't want mutees to see I'm muting them. Talk to my hand!
It would be great if public mutes were still encrypted using the npub, so that nobody except you/your client knows who you are muting.
This has the benefit of taking your mute list with you wherever you go, without giving up your #privacy.
Does anyone know how this is currently implemented in #damus? #asknostr
You don’t want your mute list to be the topic of discussion?! Whaaat?!
“Talk to my hand” is really a public irl mute button though
We moved to make it private because showing you disliked someone usually escalates. If they are skilled, they start making bots and hit you with 1000s of DMs, replies, quotes from random accounts to annoy you.
Keeping it private solves the problem without creating more problems.

Thank you for working on solving this problem Vitor and sorry you have to deal with it M.
That means that your mute/block list doesn’t travel between clients if it’s stored by an app privately.
It's not stored in the app privately but it's encrypted in your mute list.
I think so. You can see them on Nostrudel in the Lists tab if your profile. I believe there are private ways of doing this too. No idea what it is tho
yes. nostrudel lists a user's mute list in the right most tab of the UI
actually, the user's own mute list is under "lists" on nostrudel.
Even our favorite nostriches can be annoying at times. That's why I feel like mutes should auto-expire after 24 hours unless the muter has unfollowed the mutee.
Why would I mute someone but not unfollow them?
The only reasons I can think of is either 1) I need a temporary break from them or 2) I'm afraid they'll notice the unfollow, be petty enough to return the favor, depriving me of their sweet zaps.

I’m such a narcissist
Omg
😳
Wen I saw this note first though was I bet he’s talking about me
Why does everyone wanna mute me? lol
Then I remembered that the 🌎 probably doesn’t revolve around me…
Also, can we see who has muted us?
