Oddbean new post about login | logout I want but first, I’d just like a mute repost option? Is it too much to ask?
Nope, but it means some really large accounts lose the repost-advantage because things only show up once, even if you have 200k followers.
I was usually private on Twitter.
I was, too. Many many many moons ago. I didn’t even use it much.
Got tired of the trolls and creeps, and it just feels weird being stared at by a bunch of people I don't realize are staring.
Yup
Some women I know got doxed and stalked, with men trying to find out where they live, so they went private. Also stops Internet crawlers and face-recognition engines from indexing your pics.
I learned a valuable lesson very early on that the safest play is to be anon 95% of the time. It has kept me safe and still live in peace over the years.
Well, private accounts and notes would help a lot of women. Some already left because you can mute, but not block. So people can follow you around, ranting crazy stuff or whatever and screenshotting, and then you switch to a different client and their notes show up, all at once, and it's like OMG. Homemade fake porn, rape threats, death threats, incoherent rambling threats from the mentally ill, etc.
The unfortunate nature of social media highlights some of the worst of humanity. I lean on the fact that I can never change that so I play defense always because I can really only control what I put out there for consumption. It’s not fair but I work around it to still enjoy it.
I think a similar feature is under development for some clients. I don’t remember which clients… -Only one repost shows up in your feed
Who do we have to zap for that shit, node?? I’m ready.
@elsat Do you know if there’s a feature in the works to show only one repost of a note in the feed ? I thought there was one in the works
Yes https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/859 Focusing on improving design, and experience these few sprints. This one is outside top 3, will keep in mind 🙏
Nostur current TestFlight version already has this https://i.nostr.build/9zdME.jpg

Niiiiice Thanks node!
Glad I could help
It didn’t wipe your follows right 👀?
Nostur is actually pretty good with this. It has a feature that checks for changes in your follow list when you open it up. And it prompts you to accept or ignore the changes. It’s a great tool to restore your list if ever something happens to it.
