Thank you for clarifying. I don't want mutees to see I'm muting them. Talk to my hand!
Discussion
It would be great if public mutes were still encrypted using the npub, so that nobody except you/your client knows who you are muting.
This has the benefit of taking your mute list with you wherever you go, without giving up your #privacy.
Does anyone know how this is currently implemented in #damus? #asknostr
You don’t want your mute list to be the topic of discussion?! Whaaat?!
“Talk to my hand” is really a public irl mute button though
We moved to make it private because showing you disliked someone usually escalates. If they are skilled, they start making bots and hit you with 1000s of DMs, replies, quotes from random accounts to annoy you.
Keeping it private solves the problem without creating more problems.
