Anyone knows how Nostr's reporting works in detail? I can't find any information on it. From what I can see, it seems easy to create thousands of Nostr accounts automatically and spam. How do you counter this? I don’t want #nostr to become like X… And how to do it without it deviating into censorship? #asknostr

Reports can be used or ignored as any client sees fit. As far as I know Amethyst is the only one that makes any use of them, and the option can be turned off. I believe how it works in Amethyst is if five or more people you follow have reported a user then that user gets filtered. If the reports are by users that you don't follow then they don't count, which prevents someone from spamming reports with new users.

Okay, thanks for your reply! I thought the filter was done at the relay level, but it makes more sense to do it at the client level ! This way, each client can have his own policy

Some relays probably do it to, but I don't have any info on that.
