No problem. Do you have a membership with my relay? If not I will add you free of charge.

I aim to be as transparent as possible. You can see the terms of service for my relay in its full here: https://github.com/TheSameCat2/thesamecat-relay-tos

Starting at the heading “Nice legalese, but what will get me blacklisted” I explain my stance on free-speech.

I'm already on it. Of course. It's my favorite.

How many do you follow now?

Laeserin 2y ago

182, so far.

I don't have an upper-limit, I'm just taking a while to follow-back because I'm hand-vetting everyone.

I follow ~800. My experience has been good. I've seen a lot of good stuff. I'm slowly pairing it down.

Laeserin 2y ago

I used to follow more than that, but my experience was suddenly not so good, and now I'm more selective.

I've always suggested new people being more selective with follows. It's annoying to remove follows, your feed will be both boring and fast. You're following 1k people? there's not even 1k people here;)

If you follow spammers and stalkers, then your own real followers are exposed to them through WoT.

reported them all on Damus 👊🏾

I wonder if it's the same people who were spamming nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6

I didn't even know you get notified of reports 🤔

Where do you see this? I know I can see my reports (of spambots) but wasn't aware of a way of seeing if I've been reported

I think Alex Gleason was having some annoying threats and interactions recently too

Laeserin 2y ago

I think these might be the same people.

Replying to

Laeserin

Yes.

Anything that filters for your own follows picks up all of theirs and then you suffer if they follow a bunch of junk.

Laeserin 2y ago

This is why I'm so slow to follow back, now. I'm trying to check accounts out before following.

Replying to

Laeserin

That's a relief. Then that's at least two relays they can't get me banned from.

Some of them, unfortunately, are followed by people who follow me. This is the sort of thing that has caused me to stop recommending people follow everyone back. WoT doesn't work if you follow spammers, bots, and nutjobs.

Okay, the same guy who created the other sockpuppets and is impersonating a friend is still at it. Now, he's creating accounts, just to report me.

I found it somehow, haha. I reported them all in Amethyst 🫡

Replying to

7fqx

Thank you for the explanation. I think I remember now that about amethyst, but these reports shouldn't really affect anything if theyre weird spam accounts? Although there is a fair amount of 'follow4follow' culture on nostr for this to potentially be a problem🤔?

Laeserin 2y ago

Yes.

Replying to nobody

Reports are basically only used by clients (amethyst) and only if the people doing the reporting are followed by people who follow you (afaik).

My relay does not use them. I check my own relay for things like CP. We do not censor people for pissing other people off.

Every relay operator can do things differently, but as far as I can tell, almost no relays action reports in an automated way.

That's how they find kiddie porn and stuff. Through reports.

Laeserin 2y ago

I actually get reported sometimes, by people who don't like my opinion or who think they're being funny, but I've never had someone use fake accounts for it before.

This is weird. I'm not sure I've heard of something like this on nostr before(?)

Also want aware you could be removed from delays 🤔
