@asknostr #Primal
So, my nostr account is definitely being shadowbanned on primal.net
My associates can see my replies if they search for my profile or follow me, but in threads, my replies to others don't appear.
How can I filter out all posts that come from primal users in #Amethyst and such?
Primal is exactly like X in shadow banning aspect, and the sheeple using it are fools to think that primal or even nostr is some uncensored platform.👎💩
I took primal.net out of my #Amethyst relays list, but how can I proactively filter out primal users?
You can't unless they were to use the client tag (which I don't think primal sets). Lots of people have primal nip05's and use the primal relay without actually using primal.
OK, thanks! Then my only option to retaliate is to ban all notes incoming from primal.net
Can I do that in #Amethyst or nostr:nprofile1qqsts0n0s20fk0s087ydcd7zj20ajv2t90m680zr6f0x5gp6w0p8wkqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0gasgfv ?
Don't retaliate against me please, I used to be in your position and today the Primal Android app won't load anything for me at all despite me being a Primal "Legends" subscriber (which I had to subscribe to in order to get them to stop hiding all my notes from everyone)
Oh no wonder I need to jump to Damus to see your replies
why did you get shadowbanned? maybe because you dont have a nip05?, or your username is same as a banned spammer’s username?
I don't care why, or about any nip nonsense.
These #primal arses are not going to make me jump through the same hoops X twatter gang did with their "verification" and account suspensions, while falsely advertising nostr uncensorable this and decentralised that.😡
My goal at the moment is to ban primal.net from my feed, because of my sms01.
Nip-05 is an important step.no matter what client you use.
You don’t have to verify with primal, you can verify with any site you want, but it’s important to use so people know you’re you
Knowing "you're you" is what your npub is for.
NIP-05 is not "important" for any user who isn't a wannabe influencer or a nostrich.house spambot.
NIP-05 is a cringy kludge that piggybacks on (centralised) DNS to "authoritatively" verify npubs. Something npubs can do themselves, far more securely.
Fair.
All I’m saying is, if someone is trying to impersonate some one and primal requires a nip-05 for their centralized caching server then it would be important to add that to your npub so that the service can “verify” you in some capacity.
It helps with reach in that case; and lookup for npubs. Which is what the OP wants reach and doesn’t want shadowban from centralized cache servers; best to control your own domain and use the nip-05
i agree, i think nip05 is important if many accounts have the same as your username, ie 'dan' or 'sms' which dan? oh dan[at]primal or sms[at]iris, its easier to remember than npubs
Valid.
But does Primal even require NIP-05? I don't see anything about it on their website
This looks like a more specific ban.
Primal devs have already acknowledged that they have a list of npubs "prevented from trending", shadowbanning is only a single step further down that path...
yep nostr:npub1grd6pp385tevd8psx9nxzjd4vutg7pycjj49cs3q8gujpg77sjps4752zz got a nip05 and hes shadowbanned on primal
Dang..
Really? Nice. Finally got an excuse for getting almost no interaction

wait, you didnt know this?
How do you even check if your shadow banned on primal?
I'm not exactly shocked, even though I only post things everyone can enjoy
lol another npub that is shadowbanned on primal for sure is nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj
not right now, but was
Let’s never forget nostr:npub1ezw0xm0w52rd4yfdg9zlw9qvwdy46alzelklkefptrd203m37tuq4djmeg. #FreeRalf
And a few more yes. I remember the primal bans. Not enough people remember apparently
If you nadar your notes, you might find as I did that your notes are reaching no more than 5% of queried relays.
It's a much more widespread issue than primal being a Twatter of nostr.
It's becoming clear that nostr is for some reason being hyped as something it isn't and can't be, much like #Bitcoin was as "digital cash", " free, uncensorable, decentralised medium of exchange ", et cetera.🤔
To me it looks like you're only connected to 3 relays. I can see this reply on 2 of them though theforest relay shows it as missing. This is a private relay so either you're not whitelisted or it might be sending back missing to my query since I'm not whitelisted either. Gossip will discover and broadcast to other relays but you shouldn't expect it to broadcast too far if you're not connected to many relays and don't have influencer level follower count.
Oh geesh! I didn’t know that they had a specific list of npubs that they push down.
That’s not cool. But Nostr fixes this!
I don’t know if they require nip-05 or if they only promote their own atPrimalDotNet domain. I deleted their app a while ago, with them supporting blossom now I am even removing all my media from their server.
I agree it’s no good to start going down that path.
people seem to have forgot they did shadowbanning a year or so back
the monkey caching service does not require NIP-05
It is not
Not a verification either
Simplify your thinking to the level of realism
They got shadowbanned because Primal has shadowbans
It's that simple in reality
"Shadowbanned by Primal" is the new "Banned in Kansas". All the cool kids are on the list!
amethyst is banning users, too, by default. Make sure to adjust the settings.
How is this possible?
Which settings?
Amethyst uses 2 controversial methods to censor „spam“. The first is a rough match against a user’s behavior. The second is to look at the users that you follow. How often do they mute a specific user and how often do they follow him. Based on that that user’s posts will be hidden from you. Both methods work independently. Triggering one is enough.
I don’t use that app, but their users claim there are options that they have to switch these off.
How did you work out you are shadowbanned?
Veritas was right
I'm a #Primal user, and I can see this note, but I don't follow you. Are you sure it's not a relay problem?
