Isn’t setting up the lightning node to block zaps the same thing as you saying you don’t want to “see” them? Someone still can try to send out the zap. Maybe it won’t go through but you can’t prevent someone from trying.

I love the idea of you choosing what you see in your UI, but once you put a note out there, it’s not yours anymore. You prove it came from you, but someone else can put in on a website and other people can interact with it in all the wierd ways they want to.

I think as soon as you’re trying to control what other people do, you’re trying to censor - if you don’t want to see something, just hide it, like with muting, etc.

This feels like the same argument as trying to tell someone they can’t say something because it might offend you. You’re only responsible for listening by and reacting, but you can’t control what someone else says.

If you still disagree, what do you think I’m missing here?

Thank you.

This gets to the crux of why it's a strange implementation to me.

Instead of changing the user's UX, it forces a change on everyone else's.

To me that's backwards.

Exactly. The author of a post has a preference (say, not to see nor receive likes). That preference can be expressed to the reader, but (IMO) should not curtail the reader’s options.
