Oddbean new post about login | logout Always will be. The question is how can someone being harassed might filter what they see on their end alone.
Block is not enough?
From user research by @Linda the multiple people pile on, so blocking one pubkey doesn’t work.
Idk, sounds like a fragility issue to me. Do you have links to any of these harassing convos?
@Linda can you share
Well Rabble is being harassed at the moment for the Reportinator. So you could look at that as an example. However Roya (I believe that is her display name) quit two weeks ago because of harassment. There was a long thread about the topic. I looked for it the other day but couldn’t find it. I can try again, but you could also go and look at threads in her feed to see what she was experiencing. You can also create a new account as a woman and talk like you normally do (as a man) and experience it yourself. If you code, you can set up a github profile that clearly indicates you are a woman and also see what sort of experience you have submitting code. It’s not the women who are fragile, it’s the men who can’t handle women having an opinion that is different from their own that are fragile. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of times in my career that people have said - “if you were a man, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, but as a woman you have to watch how you speak so as not to offend.” By giving aggrieved users the right to harass Nostr is protecting fragility.
What is the reportinator?
It’s an experimental bot people can subscribe to that will label offensive content so they don’t have to see it in their feeds. If you search for Reportinator you can follow it. It’s a bit broken at the moment bc it’s picking up nprofiles when it should only be picking up nevents.
We dont have block in Nostr. We have mute which is different. Block implies they can’t post in replies or mention someone.
Please link harassment. I need to verify, not trust. Thank you!
There are going to be woke bubble enclaves in nostr who do and say all of the bizarre woke cult things. Because it is their right, and it should be protected. What I appreciate about Rabble’s attempt to bring the Berkeley flavor far left woke cult into nostr, is that he is doing it in a voluntary way. Wokies can subscribe to the woke bubble protector bot, and call everyone outside the bubble a fascist to their hearts content. THEY make the choice. Not a Zuckerberg, or a Federally funded NGO. Everyone’s rights are honored. You retain the freedom to post extremely hyperbolic Pepe memes, they get to live in a bubble where everyone outside is a racist climate denier. It’s a tribalism win win.
My client does have a block button. Lets do a test. I'll block you and you try your hardest to show up on my feed. Ready, go!
You can do a search for roya in primal https://primal.net/search/roya and see the conversations - i suggest you dig through there.
