v6.4-beta is available on PlayStore, TestFlight and GitHub.
Great to hear! One of my favorite things about SimpleX is that the developer team listens to feedback and regularly implements actually impactful, meaningful changes on a regular basis, unlike almost every other messenger (or service at all, really) out there.
The only way to truly block someone to the point that they can't see your posts either is to run your own relay that reads your blocklist and then refuses to feed your posts to people you've blocked.
Is there a relay that does that? Is there a NIP for that? nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhkcmmrdd3x77pwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hsh2c3z4 nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcscpyug nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpzdmhxw309aex2mrp0yhx5c34x5hxxmmdqyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgpywa92 nostr:nprofile1qqsf03c2gsmx5ef4c9zmxvlew04gdh7u94afnknp33qvv3c94kvwxgsm3u0w6 nostr:nprofile1qqsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3yamnwvaz7tm0de3ksctfdch8qatz9u4777tf
This behavior is very silly. If your posts are public, they will be - by their very nature - accessible to everyone. Trying to prevent specific people from seeing your *public* posts is backwards, and the reason it requires one to jump through ridiculous hoops is because the idea itself is ridiculous.
Most people are incredibly stupid and incapable of thinking even a couple months into the future.
