I understand ‘banning’ is not viable option with a censorship resistant protocol.
But what happens with users on Nostr that become obsessed stalkers?
Used the ‘block’ and ‘ban’ feature a lot on many different social media platforms.
It just helps with not wasting any of your energy on internet trolls, narcissists and just evil humanbeings.
Nostr just has mutes which I don't recommend using because they don't impact visibility much except for you, so it's like burying your head in the sand
Nostr needs better spam filters so that people can collectively filter stuff like targeted harassment
"Stalking" is probably inevitable because nostr posts are public
Yeah, I figured.
Are there any people on the platform working on better spam filters?
And did you bring it to the attention of core contributors and developers like nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7qg6waehxw309ac8junpd45kgtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9u6gptxa and co and nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgm3l90s ?
I'm not sure. Maybe nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl who recently (past week) implemented a toggle to only see replies from npubs followed by users you follow in jumble.social
This toggle isn't much of a collective filter, but I like it better than a mute list because it applies flatly to everyone and users will easily turn it on and off for everyone at once to see outside the bubble.
I think fiatjaf is aware of my ideas but jack has always had me blacklisted - won't recognize I exist because it would help others find out I exist, any reply to me would lead others to my profile
Interesting.
Well they definitely keep an eye on what I have been sharing on here so I’m sure they will see this and hopefully some devs will find a way to implement better features for a collective filter.
Hope so 🤙
I'll just say the 3 main things I always keep saying we need:
1. A WoT+PoW relay, that only accepts posts from npubs in a web of trust but where anyone can join the web of trust by submitting a post or two with high enough NIP-13 proof of work
2. A robust web-of-trust-based tagging system where anyone following you would see if you tagged an npub's posts for harassment, and then users could make their own filters based on these tags
3. Peer to peer data verification over Tor so whatever spam filters get developed will always be better at avoiding "false positives" than a more centralized network
Also just wanna add I feel like point 2 needs a "verified human by meeting this person irl" tag more urgently than a "harassment" tag
It's hard to convince everyone to agree on filtering people who do harassment but it's easy to convince everyone to agree on filtering extreme anons & bots
And of course this should be a toggle again so the extreme anons aren't just lost forever in bot land
I like ideas 1 & 2 both.
The verified human by meeting this person irl tag could be solved way easier and also brings another level of identity fraud when people do lose their seedphrase.
I still have some great ideas for identity verification on Nostr but need to work them out someday.
Not in a hurry because I’m also looking into various other opensource social media protocols.
But thanks for sharing and think nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7qg6waehxw309ac8junpd45kgtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9u6gptxa and co or nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgm3l90s will definitely take a look at your ideas.
Thank you
Good to have you here 🤙
