 The censors have won because they are building the clients. Nostr will go the way of all the others then die. As an example, people we like dont show up in our feed or in threads cuz other users blocked or muted them. How fucking dare anyone make this a default anywhere?

You have no idea how little motivation I have to even bother with you sneaky censoring fucks anymore. This is not a tech issue its a human character issue. If you see but dont care then you are the issue too.

Go ahead kill the platform idiots. So freaking sad but always the same. This nonsense is what will kill NOSTR not the tech.  Content creators / memers / high frequency posters won't bother soon. Heat death ahead. . . or the algo driven clients will rule, . . either way . . . you will have killed the dream.

I had so much hope for a minute. 
Oh well. This convinced me once and for all that social media is doomed and socially untenable. The UI change to AI as the personal interface to network would have been tricky enough, but seeing the censor cancer embraced so early . . .  maybe we get what we deserve.

Disheartened But: 

working on the personal AI because.
In the end there will be only bitcoin.

 The censoring is happening here? 👀 
 Yes 
 Interesting… I was told that there’s no algo pushing profiles or content and to just follow people. 

But you are saying that if numerous users mute or block someone I follow, it can affect my ability to see their content? 😳 
 In some cases, on some relays, on some clients. Everything at the discretion of builders and infrastructure providers on a case by case basis. 
 Appreciate the information Pepenostros 🫡 
 Primal has a censorship list that is black boxed. No idea if you're in it or why. Two lists to be precise. 'Spam' and 'nsfw'. It is unclear how these lists are curated.  
 lol didnt even occur to me that I am probably in same boat haha. wouldnt be surprised.

 hmm. and what other devs are using that list or its artifacts down stream? and who else is making these convenience choices for people? do we know what the rules of all relays are? is there a link?
