I have a question, if you mute does that only prevents you from seeing their replies or does it actually blocks them from replying to your posts?

I have this question because some nostr clients allow you to block people and even delete posts.

you can’t control what people say or don’t say other than for yourself.

but you can subscribe to each other’s mute lists

Muting only prevents you from seeing their replies.

Individual relays may or may not choose to ban an individual who keeps getting reported (a different thing from muting) from posting, but much like support for deletion / editing, it’s extremely unlikely ALL relays will do so, so I’d expect there to be effectively no barrier to a troll being able to reply to you. You can just choose not to see anything else they say.

Like real life.

No, far better than real life 😅 only wish I could mute people IRL

have you tried noise canceling earbuds? 😂

People tend to ignore when I have earbuds in and I’m too polite to ignore them back.

To be fair, they probably usually can’t see them under my hair.

A girl at my studio does have these impressive light-up cat-ear-shaped giant wireless headphones, impossible to miss. I think it’s a stroke of loner genius. Maybe I’ll get some myself.

Maybe one day you can cancel people like on a black mirror episode 😅 nostr:npub10kpfru2e58jxmvrmeducn044hyqkk0gvv5kynl7l0gp2x7scqzds4qsac2
