 Nostr is supposed to be anti censorship but I am blocked on Amethyst so people using that womt see me and my home IP is blocked from a few relays because the IP is similar to the emoji spammer because ofbour location.

Kinda shit no?

 Pretty shit mate, but that’s just one client. Can still see you on Damus. At a protocol level it’s still anti censorship. I can understand your frustration though.

 You're right: after a fresh install you were blocked and I had to unblock you.

 No, reinstalled to latest with this new account. Your initial state was blocked. Perhaps because of some automated blocking algorithm? (e.g. getting activated by reports lf others). Dont know if that's in Amethyst.

 That's because you're an evil son of a bitch?

 Are you sure the IP blocking isn't related to the strfry reconnection issue you were talking about a while back?

 use some paid relays or run your own. 

the beauty of #nostr is you get what you pay for

 Possibly, but I also think that they might have just seen a huge number of connection attempts coming from you and thought it was malicious.
