#[12] Prior to Vitor’s announcement, a fork of the Amethyst client was released to remove follow blocking and “hot wire” images so they post both NIP94 and a URL at the same time. With the images no longer being an issue, @cloudfodder advises there is less need to fork, however it is still available for those who wish note to have auto-blocking. 🍴

Stay Classy Nostr

https://staging.bsky.app/support/tos

I just saw this "bring your own algorithm" engine for Bluesky: https://github.com/louislva/skyline

I always thought this thing would be very hard to do properly on Nostr -- or anywhere. But for Nostr specifically I thought the right solution would involve smart relays and clients that knew how to handle some decisions to them.

But this Skyline thing is too stupid. It just downloads a giant number of posts from your timeline, then filters them on the client based on criteria you specify. It's an idea, though.
