That's where you have me - I really can't relate as typically on my socials, whatever I post is seen only by a few friends anyways 🤷
I checked your reports & understand how it can limit interactions, especially on thread replies, though I don't think the block is as widespread as you think. And now, with filters optional, likely to be even less.
If I may suggest something, your chosen name doesn't help your cause 😬
It’s a lot more drastic than it may seem to you, esp because my posts are labelled as illegal or malicious because of the false reports. I can tell because a lot of ppl don’t see or reply to them.
Having a different opinion isn’t a valid reason to censor someone, but reports are abused by the popular bitcoin accounts for that purpose.
I don't follow you & I can see your posts on Amethyst.
Given that, i still believe it's not a wide-block as
- Someone has to follow atleast 5 of the 12 people that have blocked you
- this condition is only on Amethyst & other clients don't filter basis reports afaik. Experienced users who typically use multiple clients can see your posts (& new ones are unlikely to follow all your reporters)
Having a different opinion is fine but how it comes across matters more.
And sometimes when your opinion is not valued/appreciated the better option is to stop.
You’re arguing for self censorship which is repugnant. People have a fundamental human right to free speech.
I don’t think you can see blocks, can you? Just reports. I think Damus also does something similar but you can’t opt out like you can on Amethyst.
