Pretty sure most casual users who want to leave twitter ot other shadowbanning platforms aren't going to be able not want to do this. just go ahead and build the most useable android client lol. Imagine saying that to someone who is a writer, or works in music, or just a casual user looking for a censorship resistant platform. And then also say nostr needs to not become irrelevant in the same breath.

Apologies I actually misread what you wrote. I thought you said 'make'. Cos I've seen that response a lot. 'oh you know just make your own client'. Switch client is v doable. However most have p annoying UX/UI problems which make them unusable. And the most usable one has shadowbans. Lol. Almost enough to make you cry lol

Yup can say i missed multiple people talking to me making me look like a dick because them not showing up

> Do you really believe I have bad intentions here? No. But it's not about bad intentions. It's about speculating about something that can easily be checked in the code. Semisol does this all time. All the questions he asked in the original post were already answered by me many times. Yet, he keeps asking it because it triggers people. And everyone falls for it. > Do you really believe by putting "Show anyway" button in front of every post of the user won't have any impact on a person's reach. Of course, it does. That's on purpose. Nostr doesn't guarantee ANY reach. This is not an Amethyst thing. All clients are making decisions to when/how to show posts. For instance, Damus hides most Amethyst posts that include a reference (like a link) to a NIP-94 event. They could show the post and just not show the image, but they hide everything. All I can do is make those decisions available in an open-source fashion so people can review them. > How can I see how many people my following have censored for me and who is being censored? You can see who reported you in your profile. But anyone can block you for any reason, publically, in a Nostr report, privately with an encrypted list or locally as just a feature of the app. In Nostr, you will never have any control over somebody else's screen to force your post into them. Lastly, there is a lot of debate about reports and spam. Yet, no PRs and no bounties were created to elevate these solutions. It seems like people are not that interested in proposing solutions.

I understand your perspective. But I am not speculating, I know for sure this feature will be abused, given the history of dislike campaigns on platforms like YouTube and the longstanding use of reports to suppress opposing views on traditional social media. This feature also grants me control over someone else's screen I have 3 large accounts I just need to 2 more after that I could single handedly censor any individual for a significant number of people. I should not have that ability. You will never hear me complaining about some bug or crash because I know we are to early but this particular issue is different. Censorship resistance is the only advantage NOSTR has over traditional social media, as we can never compete with centralized platforms in terms of user experience imo. Considering that approx 90%-95% of Android users rely on Amethyst as the flagship app, the decisions it makes will significantly impact a large portion of the user base. I think the simple solution will be However, please don't mistake my words for mere complaints, as I understand that you're pursuing this project out of passion. We will keep sharing our opinions but at the end of the day, you built this project, you decide.
