 Truth. Curate your environment. Garbage in garbage out. Mute the garbage.

@TheGuySwann Can you clarify how my muting of someone helps others avoid the muted and vice versa? 
 For the clients that show web of trust statistics. I think it was on coracle that it has a little circle with a number next to names. I got a message from @LynAlden but noticed the circle had a -3 in it and in less than a second I knew it was an impersonator.

(Negative 3 means no one I know is following this person, and 3 people I know have muted this person)

I’m honestly shocked this isn’t a standard for every client. It’s one of the simplest and lowest barrier ways to deal with spam that I know of, that’s uniquely available in #nostr 
 For real. I’m making a list of features for clients that are optimal or recommended after being a new user on 5 or 6 clients in the last couple weeks. My recommendations are user-centric because I don’t know the protocol level too well. This seems like a big miss to not have this on the clients I’ve tried. I’m iOS and macOS. On what client have you seen it leveraged? 
 I believe Coracle is the only one I’ve used that has it right next to the username (kinda like the verified check), which I think is the natural place, imo.

I’m sure others use it as well but I don’t know which ones off the top of my head or in what ways they utilize it exactly.

I know Satlantis intends to use this extensively
