He is exaggerating for sure. Reported messages by the people you follow show up with a warning and "Show Anyway" button. They don't disappear.
So, users always know when this feature is active for given posts.

im more often seeing replies to my posts (it says 1 under the reaction logo) but cant see the reply, is that something different then what Iefan is saying here?
Exaggeration" In your opinion, I respect that, but I consider this to be hardcore censorship because it dramatically reduces a person's reach.
Btw do you know why this particular person is censored? It's because she were promoting about some other cryptocurrency.
People who reported her didn't even know they were censoring her for all their followers.
As one of them, I did no such thing. I signaled, that’s all. How those signals are used is the issue. This was originally intended for use by relays.
I mean, nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z this is a perfect example. He don't even know, and his reports are unintentionally censoring people on some other client.
I think it's a priority issue, you don't care about censorship but for us that's the only reason we are here. I think I get it, you are not wrong, you just have different priorities.
Btw, Making it optional, is it really too much to ask?
I consider this to be simple game theory. You now know who reported her. You can talk to them to delete the report. Or you can simply unfollow them. Either way, you are seeing this happening in your account. It's not hidden.
Reports have consequences as well. That's the only way we can make this system work.
How do we delete a report? I can't find anywhere in Amethyst that I can view and edit my own reports.
Who was reported here?
A tempest in a teapot?
If the user still can see the spam and porn, where's the problem?
