Feel like personal content curation is in the domain of clients, ie not report events. UI could offer users a way to do this but it wouldn’t alone stop report event abuse.

Mute words would be good. Clever ML based client-side filtering would be awesome. The UX really only needs to be easier than submitting a report event. That said, even thought I don’t like shitcoins and I don’t want to see that crap, I guess some people will feel conviction in censoring stuff they think is a scam.

Think about impersonation accounts. There is a classic Damus impersonator that most Damus users reported and thus show with warnings on Amethyst. If you are being impersonated, you will find the report system very useful to let your followers know that is not you. And it's fully decentralized.

I agree. That’s why I’m differentiating between personal client-side filtering and report events

While I opted to just mute wolf, rather than report, others may go out of their way to report even if it takes 5x more UI interaction to do so, if they feel conviction in their assessment.

How can we reliably differentiate between real impersonation reports and censorship gaming?

The user can make that assessment. All we need to do is to let them know that there is a filed report against this person.
