Oddbean new post about login | logout i don’t know if explicit suppression of trolls would work since the identification of such might be just as hard as it is for today’s providers. but there may be an answer somewhere in an open network https://m.primal.net/KDri.jpg
Who's a troll and who's just witty is a choice every individual should make for themselves. Social networks should empower users to follow some and mute others, and Nostr does. I've experimented with using LLMs to auto-moderate Nostr feeds, but the accuracy was mid and the result as arbitrary as X :( This really is a job for a human.
seems Paul just has a hard on for censorship and surveillance
Pointless effort. You can never suppress trolls. Who decides what is trolling? What actions will be taken against them? Best thing is to not feed trolls. Works every time. Kinda surprising to see PG take this stance. Or … maybe not surprising …
No surprising lol.
It's almost as if the mute and block features don't already exist. What Paulie Potatoes wants is Mastadon/Bluesky. So why doesn't he go there? Because much like everything these chucklefucks do, it's 100% performative outrage. The post is a troll beacon so he can get them to blow up his feed and boost his Twatter welfare payment.
who is this and why does his opinion matter?
I just mute trolls and never think about them again.
I just unfollow people unless their content is very disturbing (racism, child stuff etc). I don't see the point of muting on nostr. If you don't follow someone they don't show up on your feed unless their note gets shared.
For the most part yes, but I do have a few more annoying trolls who comment on my posts with absolute garbage.
sry to hear that.
I have a large following and this tends to attract people who are starved for attention and have no life.
Same. Thinking about nuking my follows and mute list, since they both a constant mess, and just curating my relay and looking at its global. Just had to unmute nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spzpmhxue69uhnzdps9enrw73wd9hszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4eszynhwden5te0wfjkccte9enrw73wd9hsxv8qkt for the 18th time. I have no idea what is going on there.
possible you might have a bad p-tag in one of your follow/mute list (like a t-tag) many (most?) clients try to parse the non-hexpubkey as a pubkey, they fail and they give up; I've seen it a bunch of times where I try to follow someone, it *looks* like it worked, but then I see my list wasn't updated because of it overloading kinds with a bunch of different meanings leads to these issues, but the root problem is that most nostr devs don't code defensibly enough
