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.

Note: if anyone thought this was implying I scam, impersonate, or spam dick pics, I'm sure Vitor Pamplona didn't mean to imply that. The closest I've done is post an old painting with naked chicks hunting with spears the other day. I'm just "annoying"
So its Censorship. π«¨π€£π₯³β¨οΈ
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... β¨οΈπ
Not just annoying. Some people think you are a bot that is created just to complain about everything in every new post. An AI just only exists to make other people feel bad. Regardless of what the reality is, it is fair to say that people have voted and some of them don't want to see your content.
This will be really good for new users.
So they don't have to see fuckstr spamming all the hashtags.
I assume most people that stay here longer than two weeks already have him muted.
Once a new user has followed a handful of people, him and all the investment bots and telegram links will be invisible.
This will help with user retention.
I haven't used your app yet but I'll check it out some time.
Can you see me?
Great work. I really appreciate such a filter. It is similar to a world of trust score in a simplyfied way.
Easy to understand and resonable to me. Can I set the number of reports as a user? Or is 5 a fixed metric?
We are adding real web of trust, compiled by giving a score to the 2 million keys on nostr. So, maybe we won't need the 5 number fixed anymore. Or maybe it is just a score threshold... We will see...
Otherwise, yes, we could make it configurable
I like it. People don't understand what is and isn't censorship. Free speech doesn't mean everyone must be forced to listen - it means you're free to speak.
Is there a way to make it so instead of being locked at 5 people, it's a percentage of the people you follow? Something annoying/spammy/inappropriate enough to be reported by 5 people out of 100 is a higher threshold than 5 people out of 5000.
