I like this approach, but it's as easy as changing the new option so that if you don't want to see them it's fine, but if I want to give you a like it should be fine too.
Nostr is fundamentally freedom (for me), it is true that I have freedom to change my client π€£, but I think it should be discussed before (just as we are doing π€£) before launching new features that take away freedom from the user.
