Context: you explained how your app half blocks an npub on behalf of everyone with a mixed follow list if they are blocked by as many individuals as an "annoying person" (not a spammer or anything, mind you)

Only for those people that follow everyone that reported you. You show up just fine for everybody else, expect if they privately blocked or muted you, or words you frequently use, or use relays that the operator decided to block you too.

So, if 5+ people that I follow reported you, you don't show up in my feed. But you still show up in everybody else's feed. It's not just any random 5 people. It must be 5 from the list that each user follows. So, in a way, if you report someone, you are helping to protect your followers from that person's content. Your report alone will do nothing, but if 5 others that your followers follow agree, then this is hidden by default. You can always disable the filter in the security setting. But this simple rule has been quite good to remove stuff people don't want to see, like scammers, impersonators and dick picks.

"I dont want to see what others muted"... Not quite. Mutes are reports are different things. People can mute a lot of folks and that won't have any effect on your experience. Reports are the more violent version of mutes, that affects lots of different parts of nostr. For instance, many relays use reports to delete content they do not want in their server. Reports are made for other people. Mutes/Blocks just for yourself.

So its Censorship. 🫨🤣🥳✨️ You can beat around the bushes with your explanations the only thing I see that my content is left for 5 anons to be a judge to that. And thise 5 anons probably ran by the same person. You didnt do anything to help anyone here but you rather censored the noise you and devs dont like... obviously found a way to look as if its to protect. Please. Pure Censorship. Nothing else. Anyway. Good luck ... lets see how Nostr grows after this ... yall be left 5 talking to each other. Thanks for your time. Pleasure... ✨️🙏

On an open protocol... fabulous 👌

I have an idiot reporting me for impersonating.... so you are telling me an anon can decide a destiny of a full doxxed individual... how?! Who controls reports ?! Have of them are just an angry exposed anon doing his revenge. What are you telling me here?!

Each user controls the reports they want to see or pay attention to. I have 1000s of reports against me, a different number in every relay, and everybody still see my content because those reports were made by angry folks that people decided are not worth following.

But you just told me it works. So how it doesnt work on your reports against you. Im really trying hard to understand this. I aint fooling. Would really love to understand it better. So if I have reports you said they are more harsh but now you are saying you have many and people still see your content. This is where I get confused.

Each user controls his own reports other report him for? Im really having hard time getting this...

Remember, it must be 5+ users from the list that each person is following. So, something for me can appear but for you don't. It depends on what our follows reported. So, if you get 1000s of reports from idiots that nobody follows or just their gangs follow, you still show up for everybody, expect for them and their gangs.

I get it. Look i can see some things going on wrong here on the protocol. There is a literal "grooming" process happening from certain anons and their crews of newcomers that you devs cant see... I wish you can see my inbox when I came to nostr first... you will understand what im talking about. Thats why all this is not so perfectly made but I get it... tbh you guys will see the performance of the relays not me. Everything can be manipulated... this will be too... and we arent many active on nostr to start with... Well you guys watch and see..

I can see the grooming too. There are also human trafficking, child porn, financial scams of all sorts mostly via impersonators, etc. there is some pretty hideous stuff around here that we try to offer tools to help users protect themselves from.

It's unfortunate that with brand new tools there are those who willuse them for nefarious purposes. The protocol is neutral but the users define how it is viewed by the public.
