Then my account is blocked as well?
Is amethyst a part of the Fediverse?

It doesn't look like. As long as you don't spam people with the same message, you should be fine.
No, it's just simple Nostr.
What are the rules for “banning?”
Is it simple bot prevention?
Can it be abused?
If you send 5+ messages that are exactly equal in a short period of time, Amethyst puts you in a temporary block.
If people report you, they send a message to their followers with the report. If a follower receives 5+ reports from different people, your posts appear with a warning.
Of course, users can always disable these filters. But since they are effective, very few do.
By this original person’s comment to me, I’m guessing some probably don’t even know it’s on by default. But it’s his app, so I’ll see what I can do. I did these bots for the fun of it and to give sats away, not to be nuisance.
It should be modeled after Odysee.
There, Odysee has to pay a small LBC fee for posting or leaving a message, which can instantly reduce 99% of spam users, and users who don't have LBC can get it through many rewarding tasks in the site.
