 get rid of global and just show kinds from people you follow or interact with 
 Yep, that’s what we do in @nos.social. 

Also, I’m getting pretty sick of the ‘shitcoin’ airdrop spam.  
 it gets ugly out there https://image.nostr.build/315221a7c2ed04adb6187c4b2d13ccb1710b49965f8d4ded237b4337de6fe6d3.jpg  
 Why do you mute people on Nostr? It’s just inoffensive crap everywhere lol 
 it’s faster to scroll through the spam this way, I would prefer to not ever see it, consolidating all the muted replies in one reply list would be helpful 
 Yeah, there’s tons of stuff I don’t want to see. I don’t want part of my digital experience. I mute folks all the time. In fact, we’ve got a ticket that lets me choose to use other lists as mutes as well, so I don’t have to do all the muting myself. Nobody’s forcing you to mute anything, want to wade through offensive shit, go for it. Don’t like what I say, mute me.  
 Spam 
 Exactly, without mutes and the ability for relays to block/remove data based on spam algorithms, we’ll just see the experience ruined by spam.  
 I’ve brought up the censorship conversation a few times on Nostr.

I think the general consensus is “build them but never have one ring to rule them all.”

Each client should have a library of mute/ban setups that the user can choose from. 
 yes !  censorship should be non-destructive ! 

it should be based on users choosing to filter their feed not on information getting holocausted from the network.

and it shouldn't even be up to the client.

there should be blacklists any user can choose to install on any client to filter results.  you should be able to run as few or as many of these blacklists as you want. 
 no spam on amethyst, get a better app

if relays unreasonably censor then the diversity of views will be surpressed as is now on big tech

do you hate diversity?
 
 I hate the way diversity is shoved down everyone’s throat. 
 I use amethyst but I make my own nostr app nos.social so fixing it for myself is kind of my job. 
 spam blocking doesnt work well in amethyst until you have enough follows for reports to work, it fucks up your feed but global then works better, its why we need multiple lists and algos and a market for them

you can copy whole follow lists with iris.to 
 i am going to state the obvious here but given you use it you should probably work on amethyst @Vitor Pamplona 
 I use it because I want to know what @Vitor Pamplona is up to and what the android nostr experience is like. 

I don’t use android as my primary mobile OS because it’s a ux, security and surveillance mess. 💣 
 Is that true of calyx/graphene as well? 
 Na. There are android builds which aren’t terrible. But I stopped using Linux on the desktop because I’m lazy and don’t want to spend all my time building and configuring my environment. 😁 
 Same haha. Calyx at least is less hassle than android in my experience 
 I mute spam accounts but everyone on here just sticks to their autistic little bubbles, so I barely mute any real people. 
 I mute on sight, only had to do so to about a dozen and now I never see it 
 I have a feeling the airdrop spam is one of these 'break nostr in a kindhearted way to show it's flaws'. Imagine how much worse replies could be.. 

The only answer is paid relays.
