Debian left X for not being able to moderate replies in their posts, much like it's like on Nostr.

I wonder if on Nostr there could be a way to hide comments from people you "blocked"/muted from showing up on your posts for others but still giving them the option to see it, much like how Coracle does it with WoT points.

#asknostr #nostrdev

Nope. People just need to learn to deal with reality. Debian folks are probably too busy pretending they didn't make shit like systemd, to cope with people being able to reply to them talking about shit like systemd. That's just reality.

Folks do love having their own little social media dictatorships.

Maybe with nostr people's different needs can be met through client side features.

Absolutely. This is how #nostrudel handles muted users

Is that so? I'll check it out. It's been a while since I last used Nostrudel, I love how it handles threads.

Oh I misread your post a bit. Nostrudel blocks YOU from seeing them (shows them as "hidden" with an option to un-hide), but doesn't stop other people from seeing them. No client can do that because you can't control what other people see on the network, it's a pretty core part of nostr.

I wonder if it can be done client side though, without touching the base protocol itself.

Like, the client reads from the mute list of that profile you're visiting and "soft hides" the replies in it's UI only.

Then of course if someone uses a client that doesn't support the feature they will see the muted profile replies to that note normally.
