it is not any abuse or exploit, it is how a social network works. There is no system in which everyone sees everything, as this is literally impossible. There are too many messages.
Are languages censorship? If I write something in russian the message wont reach a group of people that do not speak russian.
This is what nostr clients do. YOU decide what you want yo see. When you are using any nostr client you are filtering all the messages on the network to get a personalised and usable feed. For example, you filter by kind. When using any social media client we are only getting a small set of kinds like posts, zaps, likes… and muting (not censoring) anything else. Just because it is not relevant for the usecase.
I am sorry to tell you this: if the majority of people in a small group do not listen to your messages you just… don’t reach that group, and that’s okay, it is not censorship applied to the whole network. And again, it is an optional and client-specific feature. I do not have it in mine, no matter how many friends block someone I will still see their messages (unless I block them myself)

I think reporting me because I'm annoying, while having enough followers to get me blacklisted for many users, is definitely abusing that system
Especially if devs have that system in place because they're trying to fight spam from child abuse promoters and stuff, not me
Social networks work by set of rules given by its leaders and those imply restrictions masked in so many stuff. I know everything designed by man is flawed and it can be abused. This will be too in so many ways.
Lets say a person like me would never do that to anyone not even you no matter how annoying they are. Some of us actually truly grasp the fact that we are not all the same but we need to learn to coexist. For me this muting and blocking is only for heavy crime stuff... and real ugly shit. Not common people with different minds. Our diversity makes us all special.
