I don't remember that. Vitor Pamplona talked about it and said that it only blocks people who made the exact same post 5 times in a row. Though when I first installed Amethyst I disabled the setting anyway just because I didn't know what it did.

Yes also that, but 5 people blocking one person is a stupid default, if i pick 5 friends here, and i say lets fuck any other dude, we all block him and now anyone that follows me and my friends dont see the guy that we choose to block.
Its a nonsense default, if it was like 50 people or something like that it would make more sense, 5 people is a easy way to make someone disappear from others feed, specially if done by the "bitinfluenzors"
the influenzas

Like I said, I don't even think Amethyst does that in the first place. But also 50 is a ridiculous number. There aren't even 50 Nostr users period, let alone 50 who would all encounter a particular user and go the effort of blocking them.
But it does that with 5 people blocking one the posts of that person start being marked as sensitive/dangerous content.
There are more than 10k active weekly users, and if someone is postimg dangerous content for sure that more than 5 people seeing it.
But at least the app should allow the user choose the settings, that would be better, than choosing a low number for everyone.
One day we’ll get there! #50Users
