Remember, it must be 5+ users from the list that each person is following.
So, something for me can appear but for you don't. It depends on what our follows reported.
So, if you get 1000s of reports from idiots that nobody follows or just their gangs follow, you still show up for everybody, expect for them and their gangs.
But if the average user follows around 100 users or more and it only takes 5 doing this then it isn't really limited to certain gangs
Most people don't agree with reports. So 5 reports is really a lot. A lot of people have 1 or 2 reports, very few have over 2 in the same follow set. Even when users are following over 1000 people, which are just 0.01% of nostr at this point.
It's clearly not a lot if so many users are having my npub meet the threshold when I'm not a spammer or anything
What happens if someone onboards through Primal and then immediately tries Amethyst? How many of the npubs blacklisting me will they already be following just from the Primal onboarding process before manually following anyone else?

I get it. Look i can see some things going on wrong here on the protocol. There is a literal "grooming" process happening from certain anons and their crews of newcomers that you devs cant see... I wish you can see my inbox when I came to nostr first... you will understand what im talking about.
Thats why all this is not so perfectly made but I get it... tbh you guys will see the performance of the relays not me. Everything can be manipulated... this will be too... and we arent many active on nostr to start with...
Well you guys watch and see..
I can see the grooming too. There are also human trafficking, child porn, financial scams of all sorts mostly via impersonators, etc. there is some pretty hideous stuff around here that we try to offer tools to help users protect themselves from.
It's unfortunate that with brand new tools there are those who willuse them for nefarious purposes. The protocol is neutral but the users define how it is viewed by the public.
Over time I'll get devs to build better tools that aren't so easily abused, but a lot of damage has been done by how long that's taking

None of which has anything to do with me, yet over my years on nostr nobody builds better tools that would differentiate between me and spammers, even though I've suggested many methods (e.g. better PoW and WoT implementations)
We should have a feature differentiating between "I report this scammer/abuser/filth" and "I think it's a living breathing asshole." π
Great idea, minimalist and effective π
I think reports might already have categories, maybe it should only be 5 reports for certain categories
I'd love to see reports like "I just fucking hate him" π
Forcing people to give their reason would also make it harder for abusers to justify / rationalize it when exposed
It's easier to say "don't unfollow me for reporting this person I found annoying" than "don't unfollow me for trying to add this person to the scammer blacklist because I find them annoying"

I hope you are making time to protect yourself too. π It is not healthy to see all those stuff for your brain and I know it is an occupational hazard. Take care out there π»
