I understand wanting to silence certain content that is of no interest, but why do well-known users such as nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac publish it to give others the opportunity to silence people they don't even know?
It seems like unnecessary censorship to me.
I don't like this at all and if Nostr takes this turn I think Nostr's alleged incensurability is just falsehood.
It just means he doesn't want to unfollow you but wanted to change his timeline. Mutes are not serious, seems pretty common. Tho apps that unmute after a while would be nice or people forget they have you muted.
He doesn't actually follow me either, so I don't see the point.
You can still see people when they are reposted, perhaps that was the intent. To stop seeing reposts?
Twitter has long solved the issue of seeing less content without muting or unfollowing people by “show me less” but we don’t have such things. I’ve said it a million times I have nothing against anyone here, I’m just trying to limit what I see so I can see more of other stuff I do want to see. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to see ANY posts from that person, but there’s no way to distinguish content filtering here without mute words. I use Damus regularly on mobile and there’s no mute word or list here but this is a feature on Snort which I use extensively.
If some social graph thing is doing something by limiting your reach based on mutes, sorry. I will do what you’d like but this is an issue to take up with those developers. As a user I shouldn’t have to think about how my personal curation actions are going to impact others.
Exactly this đź‘Ť
Not sure what you mean by that. Is that something amethyst does by association?
I think OP is complaining about public mute lists that everyone can see. Amethyst adds your mutes/blocks to the private part of the list but other clients add to the public part, like you see in the image.
That being said, I don’t agree with the premise that sharing a mute list is censorship. People must have the freedom to tell everyone they don’t like you. And that’s fine.
Ah. I don’t like public mute lists. Have had nothing but grief from them. But I agree, if someone wants to use your mute list I think that should be fine. I would, however, prefer not to mute anyone and just use mute (words) lists instead to see fewer topics I may not care about without completely muting a person. I think everyone has something interesting to share even if 90% of their notes is stuff I don’t care about
