I mean it's also not insignificant that the no 1 used (and useable) android client does have a mechanism (which it could at least be said can be used) for The Vibecheck. Yes, feel free to start your own no 1 used android client. I'm not sure how many casual users, (which I assume nostr wants) will do/are capable of that. I think I'm not being that coherent.

I’m not totally sure, but I think Damus has a similar censorship system. I’ve noticed posts on Damus that are collapsed and say “this post is from a user you’ve blocked” or something even though I don’t block anyone.
I think it is actually protocol wide (I asked vitor about this and he actually explained in lots of detail), but this is confusing, as eg plebstr will show me replies which i don't get on amethyst. View quoted note →
I think the story goes like this... And I could be wrong lol. But basically if your are blocked on nostr by a handful of the people everyone sort of follows eg jack, will etc etc you are basically shadowbanned for the vast majority of users. That's my read on it anyway
