Subnostr

Strange nostr experience of the day:

I was browsing my Global feed, and stumbled on a comment from nostr:npub1pczukv7wx7l6mlpx54qxuzp0s32s7clejt04y4kl6z9vvgyz4x0qp4ehtq ...

Going to his profile, I found it labeled "blocked." I didn't recall ever seeing the dude, so I unblocked him and didn't see anything that I would have blocked...

Now it gets really curious:

While looking through his posts, the profile flipped back to "blocked" on its own.

WTF (What The Fudge)???

I unblocked him again and "Followed," but can anyone explain this bizzare behavior?

when you unblock/block someone isnt not instant that it becomes recognized by the network. it takes time for this interaction to propagate through the network just keep at it eventually all relays will recognize the change.

Ah, that makes sense!

Still, the weird thing is that I have no recollection of blocking the guy. Of course, my memory is often questionable, and perhaps some older post may not yet have been dredged up from the relays...

I appreciate your explanation!🙏😁💜😆👍 Thanks!

Check under "security filters" in Amethyst. There are 2 checkboxes there that govern how it will block users based on the reports of others.

Ah, yes!

This seems very plausible. I've unchecked the lower box, and may dispense with both until/unless spam becomes an avalanche...

This experience makes a good case in my mind for a future subscription anti spam service with reliable reporters...

Thanks, nostr:npub1m64hnkh6rs47fd9x6wk2zdtmdj4qkazt734d22d94ery9zzhne5qw9uaks !🙏😁💜😆👍
