 There is no way to block anyone on anything in Nostr. You can only hide them.  
 Thoughts? note1p4v7j85ke5jmp4n2d7at3am5rjvck28ltvreu25tam6nn7z3889s87c53k 
 Thats why I said it is a protocol level change .. I am sure relays will find easyier way to filter the spam attacks .. but changing the meaning of "follow" would go a long way ..  
 If we are being fair that’s what blocking is anyways 
 Yes  .. I think the current blocking is only hiding  the stuff .. relays still carry the reactions of the people I blocked ...  
 Btw  - that is the difference between "notes" and "posts"  .. notes mean default position is no one (except me)  may react to what I noted  ... posts are open submissions for comments .. or likes or whatev.. 

We should be true to the name  :-) .. 

 
 Not sure what the influence was but I know in Japan it’s called note(s) and a boost/repost is called renote 
 Japan folks know what they are doing :-)  .. case in point - US Steel ..  
 When I see notifications in #Amethyst , the global view is riddled with "reply guy"  ... but " All Follows" view is  good ... 

Maybe you wanna implement same logic in feed too  .. no display (and reportinng ) from anyone who I dont follow  ..  
 For example - add one more option for the "feed"  ... "Only Follow"  --- All follows means everyone , including bots  -- "Only Follows" means - as the name suggest - only from the ones I follow ..
