 hellthreads can sometimes bring a little warmth to an otherwise cold feed. some apps extinguish the flame on your behalf, but damus lets you decide when you want to stomp it out 🙂🧯

That has always been damus’ philosophy when it comes to censoring/hiding content. It shouldn’t filter anything on your behalf, you are always in control. Damus will never shadowban 🤙

 Damus can mute hell threads? Tell me how 
 “Mute conversation “ will mute a thread from your notifications 
 Wow can’t believe I missed that..

What other cool features have I missed? 
 That’s why he’s still my favorite client. #Damus 💜

 Users who don't have that option essentially find themselves somewhat isolated in long-thread conversations.

I have some experience with this because I use multiple clients. There is a huge difference between Amethyst and Damus notifications, more than many people realize.

Although I wouldn't say it was censorship because I understood the intention, making it optional is a step in the right direction in my opinion. And I must say, I love your philosophy as a whole. 
 I think damus should definitely still have amethyst style filtering as an option, outright muting the thread is a bit heavy handed. 
 It definitely has a use case. Vitor has made other filters optional. I really hope he makes this notification filter optional as well. https://image.nostr.build/adce3ebb1f39f9c54b35f55d5e07a261fd85df891c09361cb8d1d75e20e64b72.jpg 
 Live & let live.
