 I'm happy to announce a new release of [Habla](https://habla.news).

### What's new

- Moderation tools

You can now mute people, hashtags and words and Habla will not show the events that match your moderation settings. The user can choose if they want to mute stuff publicly or privately.

If you use a nostr extension for logging in it might prompt you for decrypting your mute list because of this change but you can choose not to decrypt it and only public mutes will be used. Check out your [moderation page](https://habla.news/moderation) by clicking on the profile menu and selecting "Moderation".

- Reactions in long form articles and highlights

Articles and highlights will now show reactions when rendering on a feed. This allows you to see the engagement a piece of content has and zap or boost it directly from the feed.

- Featured feed

Due to the amount of low-quality and AI-generated content on the "All" feed Habla will now show a featured feed by default instead. You can still switch to the "All" feed in the feed selector under the "Relays" section.

- NIP-05 verification symbol

In order to make it easier to spot impersonators or issues with your NIP-05 a verification symbol is shown next to avatar for verified nostr addresses. The NIP-05 nostr address is also shown in profiles now.

Bugfix: Invalid nostr addresses will no longer be used for human-readable URLs if they can't be verified client side.

Happy muting, reading & writing!
