IMPORTANT: If you are here because you see Nostr as a censorship-resistant alternative and the beacon of free speech, YOU MUST READ THIS. Something bad is going on, and you should be aware of it. It affects every user on Nostr.

First: Please, only utilize the 'Report' feature in extreme cases. Instead, prioritize using the 'Mute/Block' option when necessary. This is a humble request to all the IOS & Android users 🙏

Because we have a very huge problem and it's not a bug. Let me elaborate:

Regardless of where you choose to report, your 'report' will censor that person not just for you but "all of your followers" who use Amethyst. It only takes five reports from 'following user' to censor the individual "for you" without your intent and knowledge. No matter which client the censored user is using, they will be censored for Amethyst users after reports.

Amethyst users don't even have an option to turn off this setting. This is really messed up. Any five users I am following can censor any person for me, and I can't do anything about it. This is ridiculous.

By the way, don't make any mistake here, it's not a bug, it's by design. I raised this issue with Vitor many times. I respect his work, but there has been no meaningful response regarding this. In fact, he wants you to learn coding and do it by yourself.

I don't intend to call out any person; I just want to spread awareness. Maybe you like this feature idk but you deserve to know what's exactly happening and make informed decisions.

Btw, You don't have to share this exact post, but please let people around you know what's happening. So they can participate in this debate.
