Folks using v0.17, keep an eye on your blocked users list. The new filter is trying to block spam by checking duplicated messages with > 50 characters.

I don't know if that is a good idea, it has been working well for me during the past day. Let me know if you find a blocked user that should not be blocked.

Also, although the list appears together with your usual block list, the auto-block is kept separately and deleted after some time (more like a timeout than a block). But you can always choose to see the user again in that interface.

Great feature thank you!

Also nostr and amethyst channels are auto enrolling me even if I leave them. Those channels are somehow evading my paid relay only global feed setting.

They will be back if you log off an sign in again. When you log off, the local database that keeps the information about the channels you follow is deleted and the app thinks it's a new user.

Global relays only affect the global feed. Public chat relays (the peoples' icon) is used for public chats.

Nice to know! Thank you.

Hopefully it is >2 duplicate messages. Sometimes using an different client messages wouldn't post. So I'd repost and then dulicwste would appear.

Thanks for the update Vitor. Backspace issue is gone.

I'll also get something to you today on the web. Sorry for delay. Weekend!!

The time out is a really good idea! Nicely done, as usual! πŸ‘

Innovative.

"Poking the box."

Love it πŸ’œ

Vitor... You've done a fantastic job with the app... Quick question, the zap function works with muun, correct?

Correct.

Hi #[3] my zaps default to 1000sats and I cannot change the amount...using bluewallet.

A new Amethyst version is coming that allows to change the amount of satoshis to zap.

Vitor, last question, do you need a proper Lightning Node address i.e like from Umbrel to make the zap work? Or any other suggestions u have. Many thanks in advance πŸ’ͺ🏼

You need a zap-supported receiving wallet. Wallet of Satoshi, lnbits and strike.army seem to be the only options now

And vida.page and Stacker News and Bitcoin Beach Wallet, I reckon.

Ok mate, I'll give that a go. Thanks πŸ‘πŸΌ

I've setup WoS... Can someone send me a test zap and I'll zap you straight back. Many thanks in advance

Wow received 21 sats... Was that you Vitor?

V0.17 is in Playstore? I don't see an update.

No.. it takes several hours to get there.. and i only ship there after the APK users have tested for another several hours.

Okay. Will keep a lookout. Thanks for the update. πŸ€™πŸ˜Ž

Good point. The cowdle word game git caught in security filters for me thus far

I don't see a blocked users list.

Click your picture on the top left corner and hit security filters

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't look there first.

So wordy people can get autoblocked? 😳

Only if they keep posting exactly the same thing.

Thanks Vitor, I like your idea of the separate, temporary block that will reduce spam while also not permablock individuals that might accidentally trigger the algorithm.

If the temporary block is triggered multiple times in a short time, the effect of the cooldown could be lengethened so that actual spammers block themselves for a long period of time, or that they activate a perma-block.

I see it automatically blocked #[2]. This is kind of unacceptable! 😬

Write duplicated posts, goes into spam.

Let me see if I can relax the filter a bit

Found the two posts:

Hello, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I have a question I want to ask you about Damus. What does my username appear as now? I can't see the username on some. My other question is that I see several people from one username. Is this normal?

Yep, anyone can have any username they want.

how do i find the person i'm looking for

On Damus I see posts with @user, where does it go then when you click? Or ist that app specific?

Wouldn't it be better if everyone had a unique username like on Twitter?

That can only be achieved in a centralised service.

In nostr the keypair (public and private keys) is the only guaranteed unique identifier.

I'm still new here, but the mere existence of the concept "handle" feels kind of redundant. Seems like pubkey + display name would be enough.

I think it's fine for now, bit it'll become contentious when public figures join and they attract imitators. When that happens, integrations with other decentralised identity management systems (KILT protocol etc) will become more important, IMO.

Plz unspam me ser.

Done and followed 🀝

Off to a great start lol. Its probably because I have a bunch of the same posts from trying to figure out Damus and snort. And lack of delete button.
