 The WoT does not work as intended... Amethyst just blocks whatever it wants. This is much closer to a bug than to a feature. https://image.nostr.build/1c1dd0fc9a7418b935bc6926379165fe559abd6375bf2970cdf7a1af6d108b25.jpg 
 Is this really (just) a Amethyst thing?

The NostrDam account is on many users blocklist we're finding out at this moment...I'm curious why? @Vitor Pamplona any idea? 
 I don't think I used any other app which would be able to put it on a blocklist, so I'm guessing it is an issue caused by Amethyst.  
 You can disable the anti spam filter in the left drawer. 

But yes, we will always block spammers by default.  
 The devil is hidden in the detail. Blocking spammers is of course a good thing and I don't want to switch it off. The issue is that in this case it created a false positive. That is the bug: a legit account was flagged. 

I personally would prefer to have a false negative every now and then if it would prevent this from happening.  
 Why was it a false positive? How does te spam filter works?
