It would disable only in that client. And you can't prevent someone from publishing on Nostr, of course, so the comments would still arrive; they'd just include people complaining that the button for replies is missing.
Jumble has the "hide untrusted replies" feature, that allows you to simply not see anyone you don't want to see. Or, you just set your inboxes to something like a personal relay. Then you would see comments only from there.
Of course I'm talking something that should be included in a NIP.
The UX can be improved, it's not a real problem.
My idea is first and foremost to meet the needs of authors/creators, not those of readers.
If we agree on a format and implement it in our clients, then it's a NIP. I could put it in Wikistr, Jumble, and Alexandria.
Just disable responses and reactions for x hours beyond the createdAt stamp?
Like ["quiet", "48"] ?
Yes.
Where hours >= 0
I didn't think about reactions, I suppose we can add them too.
You'd probably need to quiet everything, and hide the text in zap receipts, or people will troll with 1-sat zaps.
Just hide the entire bottom row.
I went with a UNIX timestamp, to match the "expiration" tag. So, Jumble Imwald 🌲 now has "quiet" and "expiration" tags.
The timestamp is ok for me.
But, I was actually planning to add it to Jumble, we are going to have conflicting code this way. Can you apply it to your other projects?
You can add it to Jumble, then, and I'll pull in your code. I was just trying it out as a prototype, to help me write a spec. I often can't remember to define stuff, until I see it in action.
I can apply it, universally, to all of the clients. I think this would be popular. Nostr Without the Noise.
Proposal:
Could also be in the settings, as a default quiet time.
Differentiating "quiet" from "mute" is important, rhetorically.
