Reputation filter: censorship by default, following people by you own individual choice is more discerning. Global noise can be beautiful, but not 100% of the time. If you never see ugly, then beauty doesn't exist.
The last feature of https://jumble.social/ in 2025:
A reputation filter that hides notes from the bottom X% of users by reputation.
It works across feeds, notifications, and replies, and is especially effective at reducing spam when browsing large public relays. #devstr

The main purpose of this filter is to weed out spam accounts. Since there are a lot of spam users on the Nostr network, normal users usually end up in the top 10%. But this isn’t fixed, so the choice is left to the user. To avoid filtering out too many legitimate users, I’ve set the default threshold at 40%.
I'm interested to understand how user's reputation is derived. I don't want to eat your time, so if you have explained it before or have a link that would be very much appreciated.
It’s basically a simple combination of the PageRank and TrustRank algorithms, both of which have plenty of resources online.
In short, if you’re followed by high-reputation users, your reputation goes up too. The more trusted users vouch for you, the more trustworthy you become.
That sounds reasonable. I suppose at the extremes it needs people of high reputation to venture deep into the noise to rescue those who sit with a Purgatory of ignorance.
A new user only needs to be followed by a regular account to boost their reputation into the top 60%, since spam accounts rarely get any followers, following them would expose the spam account owner.
Pensei a mesma coisa quando vi o recurso.
Everything within the Universe and even it's border with Eternity are governed by boundaries. These boundaries are the descriptions of complete absence of Zero upto the Unity of One.
Bitcoin is a mirror of the Universe and it's boundary structures.
Percentages are expressions of complete Absence 0% upto complete Unity of 100%
As such, it's very important to ensure that people can cross the boundary of 0%, or just above and avoid being ignored and or invisible. This is just like the first time someone joins the Bitcoin network, they cross the boundary of Zero Bitcoin into Being (Being in custody of Bitcoin). Like an animal being born, without fear and or favour and or permission. Bitcoin allows all equal access, without any qualification/caveat.
Humans are not good at feeling and knowing the extremes. The extremes at Zero and or the extremes of the exponential. That's where most get lost as the mind doesn't easily go there.
Something is either full open or it is not, this is Zero Boundary Logic and it takes some thought to see it, and more importantly recognise it, in all it's forms.
There is no easy answer, as if there was, then it's also easy to game.
I'm not criticising, I'm observing and setting out my observations. That’s the impossible that Bitcoin got right.
bullshit.
Firstly, we are talking about a consensus system and not bitcoin.
secondly, bitcoin proof of work, proof of work and goes beyond this nonsense of 0 and 100.
I understand why you call bullshit, I don't blame you.
It doesn't matter what words or even words in any language. Boundaries are devoid of our mathematics. However, spoken language does follow the boundaries of the Universe.
I explain this here and there's also a link to my paper and other papers can be found there too.
See the medium article below and my other articles. I've been studying Bitcoin since 2013 and my writing reflects my journey of discovery.
I don't have time to explain it, as first I'd have to fully understand what makes up your mind.
