We need more web of trust based filtering and sharing of blocklists (which already works in some clients)
Discussion
That too! The best way seems to be a combination of algorithmic solutions like that for day to day, and more “brute force” methods like what I posted for cases where a user wants to take no chances.
The option to opt-in to as a setting is nice as it would be controlled by the end user. Better than arbitrary blocks and shadow banning according to the will/mood of some dictator-in-the-making that own an app or relay that has a bigger share of the nostr "universe".
The web version is amazing!
we should have an account that publicly shares a banlist with the whole of nostr to make sure everyone can block these people
Let's call it #nostrblock
Those are easily abused, never liked this approach
Moreover Sybil is cheap, at the end of the day we already know the answer: proof of work aka sats per view, I’m reading notes from npubs I don’t follow only if you pay me to do it. This shifts the npub-list building to real life or other platforms, would that be ok?
Perhaps a great deprioritization of posts coming from those not Nth degree to your current followed? Kind of how linkedin does it… You have to be introduced to send a direct message… I don’t like the idea of banning direct messages however… Perhaps just a ‘unknown or sketchy sender’ category
Mastodon approach 💀
Who controls it? What’s the criteria?
On mastodon, it's the trannies that control it. See

This is what you all will do to ruin nostr
Cancel culture coming to Nostr confirmed!!!???

Ability to configure a network of trust is really great. I think options for a user to set who they want to engage with would go a long way. Users could choose clients/apps that they knew supported those features.
Or people can just press the block button themselves instead of crying for someone else to do it for them.
How about having a list of blocked accounts I can take to another client like I do with following? I mean linked to my npub like my profile description. Running one account on different devices/clients and blocking the same people could become quite time consuming.
