That means Bearetta is following five accounts that muted that message, and the app muted it for her as a recommendation. It can be disabled by the user, and it does not affect users which dont follow the same accounts. I get your point, if someone creates 5 accounts they can mute a message for their connections, but this only works if their client is configured with this option, and if you make someone follow 5 different fake accounts. It is not censorship

following the “muting is censorship idea”, reposting would be censorship and control too? When I repost a post I make it appear in my mutuals feeds, would that make me a “controller of media and opinions”?
Bro just look up what censorship means, this is crazy
Idk why you keep repeating "it isn't censorship" like it's too hard for you to look up the definition of the word "censorship"
Again, there's no reason my reporting should be filtered for so many users when I don't spam or anything and continue making many of the highest quality posts on nostr
I keep saying it because it is not censorship. No one is globally removing your posts or silencing you in any way. The fact that we are talking in this thread proves it.
It is not filtered for “many users”. It is filtered for the small groups of users when 5 or more people of the group decide to personally block you.
They "silence" me enough to stop me from regaining contact with Digit so far
You're underestimating how many users I'm filtered for, while I'm glad you weren't one of them
same result you would get even if this was not a client feature, I’m afraid. For every “soft block” made by web of trust there are 5 people who directly blocked you. You would only stop being blocked for 1/5 of the total.
Who is digit?
Digit was a friend on wallstreetbets that deleted her accounts to get away from me while believing a bunch of lies from people about me trying to psychologically harm her and such
She also left me very worried about her because she was going through some shit and obviously not quite OK if she'd fall for these lies and disappear over it after being such a good friend
My life is dedicated to showing her I was always honest with her & I basically treat it as a full time job trying to make posts people will see online until I encounter her, or someone that knows her, or I get so many followers I can put pressure on the people that lied to her int he first place
“or I get so many followers I can put pressure on the people that lied to her in the first place”
…so you want to do to others what you are fighting against for in this thread? gain followers and use that to enforce pressure on others speech.
I really hope you find Digit and get to talk to them again. But I honestly think you are not being censored in any way. You are just not reaching parts of the network that did not mind about your goals in the first place. Even if they could see you, It would not help in your search.
I want my posts to be seen by Digit or someone that knows her and can just show her
But if that doesn't happen, the only other solution I can think of would be people flooding wallstreetbets to ask about her and what happened with us
I'm not trying to control anyone's speech, I almost never mute people or anything
Thank you for wishing me luck
