Yes.

I should be able to ban all #Primal Users at the click of a button if Primal are doing such a shit job managing their #WoT and allowing endless spammers in to their NIP05 registration such that it’s ruining my Nostr experience.

This isn’t remotely controversial.

This is client devs thinking they know what’s best for Users and refusing to give them the tools to do their own filtering. It’s client devs going the way of Xitter.

I didn’t pay 150,000 Sats for Damus Purple so that nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s could exclusively decide on who I see in my Nostr experience.

I paid those Sats so he’d have the time to build the tools such that I COULD DECIDE.

If nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr has a problem verifying spammers and I don’t want to see that problem manifest in my notifications - let me decide that!

If nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 has a problem where he’s verifying spammers then, again, I want to be the one deciding not to see that in my notifications.

I don’t expect @nostr.com.au relay users who get a free NIP05 address on signup to to run roughshod on the network. I expect to take responsibility for the Sats we’re paid to whitelist them for that NIP05.

Spam is in the eye of the beholder. We’ve already litigated this point to death on Bitcoin since Retardinals came into existence and that’s the common ground we all came to. We don’t need to reinvent that.

I should be able to ban all Primal Users at the click of a button and when Miljan posts an update that he’s got his house in order then I should be able to unblock all Primal Users just as easily.

This ISN’T #Mastodon. I have options for which client takes my key every time I want to connect to #nostr. 

I just happen to like #Damus but if you’re not going to serve me then I’ll take my key elsewhere to a Dev who will give me the tools I want AND who spends the time to better communicate what tools are available in their client which tbh you have done a shit job with. nostr:note1mks0pzx2xuey9l2nxfe3zdgd8amxzwv3jng3fe2le08ame5qnqcstvclv8
