I have definitely seen previous instances of women being harassed and threatened on Nostr. Different people are going to respond to these things in different ways obviously.
I think the problem with simply just muting is that it doesn’t stop the user that has been muted from commenting & interacting and others are still able to view these comments. I don’t think this it is an easy problem to solve on Nostr..
That’s uncensored protocol, and that is why most of us are here.
Agree it’s not ideal and may never be on a platform such as this.
I can see a future where there is a blue sky style moderation layer that people can subscribe to voluntarily to block out content that is obviously spammy/trolly
Don’t mute. Don’t engage.
Oh God no... Please Nooo..😲🫂😂
Would it not be fairly straightforward to have a client that would allow you to browse while temporarily muting users who the thread maker has muted?🤔
@The Fishcake🐶🐾 any thoughts?
Already looking into this, there are some “smart” options to help with this using modern tech 🐶🐾🫡
I think that would be possible but I don’t think any clients implement that today? The notes are still written to the relays though so would still be visible in clients that don’t implement this type of filtering.
The other option might be to do it at the relay level. The relay would look at a user’s mute list to determine if an interaction with their notes is allowed. I’m not sure if that could be made efficient though and would rely on all relays implementing this functionality to be useful.
