#amethyst #asknostr
Is anyone else having trouble blocking certain npubs?

No
Have you done any reporting? Like spam, etc.?
Yes, though not too often.
Okay, so first thing is to make sure you're on the latest #Amethyst and #Amber versions. Amber has to be uninstalled and reinstalled if you're on 1.3.7 or older. Backup your keys first.
Then get in another client. I use 0xChat. I know that works.

Find some butthole and block them in 0xChat. Plenty of bots, etc. in DMs for that.
Go back to Amethyst and everything should be working. You may have to re-block them all again. Don't "report" things until you know it's all clear. I'll be testing that. It may already be fixed, even, and I just haven't proven it out. There's some issue with the encryption on the mute list event when you do it with the report event and it borks the list, making you unable to change it.
I have literally spent months chasing that.
Sooooouper weird. But it worked. WTF?
It's that encryption thing. I saw recently a comment in the Amber update about a fix for errors when signing multiple events at once. I think this is maybe what it fixed. Just have to test it again.
A "report" also generates a "mute" because you probably want to mute the spammer or whatever. That part is logical. The signing of both events breaks/broke it, though.
Publishing a new, singular "mute" event from a client that isn't locked up straightens it out again. I could break it and fix it at will this way.
Like I said...months. It seemed random at first. Devs are slammed with real shit, so I just started beating on it. They'll get to it if they didn't already. Vitor knows about it.
No. No. Devs are too busy getting high on their own farts pooping "new features" to bother fixing basic stuff that really needs to have been fixed last year. IMO. š¤
That is a target odd thing to happen. But, OK.
Sometimes, maybe. š This one's sort of minor, and maybe a complex fix. The Tor thing was huge for future Nostr normies, so I think that was an efficient resource spend. Plus Vitor is fixing eyeballs at the same time.
I haven't recently but I have in the past, I haven't really tried to block anyone lately though.
technically or ethically?
#amethyst can block?
