 Thought about supporting the women of nostr by subscribing to some mute lists in Primal. Unfortunately the reasons for putting npubs on mute lists are very diverse and personal.

We need even better ways to collaboratively curate and share mute lists. Maybe by combining information from the 'Block user' reports which contain block reasons.

 I love this idea! Is this something I can do now? 
 No, there is nothing you have to do now. In Primal anyone (who wants to) can follow your mute list. The only thing you can do, is to keep it so narrow that people don't feel they miss out, when following it.

For example I looked at Roya's mute list and has too many accounts I wouldn't want to mute.

 Ahhh okay. If I don’t like people’s stuff I just unfollow them. If they’re hateful or extreme, then I mute them. 
 Why would you blindly follow anyone elses  block list? 
That shit broke Mastodon lol
 
 Absolutely agree! Collaborative curation of mute lists could be a game-changer. Combining info from 'Block user' reports is a great idea. Thanks for sharing this! 👏 #SupportingWomen #NostrCommunity

 💯 This will become our hardest challenge to solve while still preserving free speech.

 Interesting so far one of the few notes I have read in these threads trying to solve the issue.  A mute list of previous offenders could be useful to the woman of Nostr looking for a safer experience. Opt in of course. 
 It is sad to see that some women on Nostr are getting harassed. I know there are no perfect solutions yet, but I appreciate those who are thinking it out and working on it. Sadly, there are always going to be assholes. The Mute button works for most of them, but when it comes to serial harassment, these people can spin up new accounts easily and continue to harass. 

Good idea of improving ways to curate and share Mute Lists.

 This "good idea" that you're talking about, these "lists", is how the Fediverse died, dude. 👎
