One of the reasons Amethyst is the flagship client is this exact feature. It was the software's natural evolution of a consistent stream of complaints about spam and scams on the platform. The user experience is just better because there is less spam, fewer scams, and these days less porn. It's not perfect (and I welcome PRs that make this better), but it is helpful.

can you not see how many reposts this has and the reaction it's getting? Are there any posts praising autoblocking and shadowbans on amethyst? Amethyst is a flagship android client DESPITE of this feature.
I used to receive over 100 emails a day talking about porn, spam or scams on people's feeds. These days are less than 10 or so. So, I understand the pressure, but the other side also counts.
vitor when people point out that he's the sole reason his app is losing both momentum and popularity, and now an uncucked version
As I was actually whinging about the other day, let us have client-specific options. I know they won't carry across to other nostr clients, or to other devices I may use your client on. Fine! In fact, that may have advantages as well.
Let me opt in (or out) of a safe mode that incorporates your filtering of reported users. Then separately, let me opt in (or out) of other filtered content. It is not good UX to have to click through each time you want to see a filtered note.
TY - and yes, my eyes have been on the competition.
Let the user choose how many reports should lead to a note not being displayed.
