Not any "5 prominent users" it must be 5 prominent a given user follows. If the user agrees with those 5, then the user doesn't want to see it as well (it doesn't matter if it is a correct report or not). If the user does not agree with those 5 prominent accounts, they can: 1. Report those 5 for misleading reporters (if the majority agrees then those 5 accounts won't be prominent for much longer), 2. They can unfollow those 5 (or just one of them) 3. They can follow the reported account (which then, like I said in the anti-spam explainer, removes any blocks to that user). In general: 1. Users are free to post whatever they want. 2. Other users are free to report whatever they want. 3. Followers of those users can then agree or disagree and take action as well.

The reason I added prominent users is that most users will follow prominent Devs or other sorts of users which are recommended, there is also some cases where a client will automatically have a new user follow people from the start. If these prominent users had the same political opinion and didn't want to see the content of an opposing political opinion (or personal opinion of whatever eg) they are making a blocklist/shadowban, whether intentionally or not. And as a user you might agree with this actually. But it is quite difficult to undo or even notice, especially as a casaula user, even moreso when you are not even aware this is happening, and in fact nostr is sort of touted as not doing this. How is this different from the vibecheck we were lampooning BlueSky about? Sorry, I think I am more pondering now lol
