Yeah, you should just disable those languages. If you can read them, there is no point in translating it.
I am sure you appreciate when something in Japanese or Arabic pops in and you can read it.
Auto-translate is this weird in-device AI 1.0 thing that kinda works but it really screams when it doesn't.

It's not as effective because the app either needs to check 200 or so NIP-05 on start up or it has to check during rendering, creating "now you see the post, now you don't" issue.
But disabling downloads from damus and nostr.mom on your General Relay list seems to reduce most if not all of it.
For instance, I haven't seen a spammer or impersonator today.
Looks like we are getting a Desktop Signer!! Let's go!

Keep sending me things that might make it look nicer. I have no idea what types of UIs work on well on the folding phone.
Do you like the DM split screen?

Ohh I see. The main filter is by follows, if you open a note to see the replies than it will be from everybody because we don't have the filter up top on that thread screen.
The issue is that every screen has a separate settings at the top. You can be looking at All Follows at home, but Global in Notifications, and a user list on Discovery. Threads just haven't adopted that language yet.
I am confused. The Conversations tab in the home screen should only show replies from people you follow. But if you enter a thread (which you can also enter from notifications), that always Global today.
Likely running out of cash. I don't know how can will keep 3 separate client codebases going without another round of funding.
I am sure investors are not happy either. After all, they are losing all of their money if it keeps going like that.
Yeah, relays can easily operate inside Tor with an onion address directly. So, there is really no need to come back to the regular web for posts. (Might still need for videos and pictures)
So, I can tell you that our push server doesn't have any token for your pubkey. It's as if Notifications were completely disabled in the phone because Amethyst is not even registering a new token.

I have only seen 5 spam posts in 3 days.
If you are still seeing spam:
1. You are not paying attention to your relay list. You should remove/disable relays that are sending them. Amethyst shows relays the post came from below the author picture in Complete UI mode on settings. Move to safer relays.
2. Use hidden words in the Security Filters to hide common names/phrases out.
3. Always report impersonators and csam content. This will alert your followers of potential bot traps and let your relay operators know you didn't liked their posts.
It doesn't count as encouraging. Reactions can be positive or negative. There are plenty of reactions ( 👎😡🤬😰😓👇⬇️) being used daily to demonstrate discontent with posts and people definitely don't want to see them in their profiles. Whoever is encouraging everything you react to needs to fix their client to filter the negative stuff out.
When you report, or you mute those notes or authors, you are engaging with them: you are creating Report Events or adding their keys or IDs to mute lists or block lists. It's the same thing as a reaction. Same thing happens on clients that mark event's as read, etc. Those are all interactions.
There is no way to only interact with positive content on Nostr. It's the wrong way to look at it. You are always interacting. That interaction can be positive or negative. But they will always be there... As they should.
Clients don't need to parse reactions into positive or negative if they don't want to. The only thing they absolutely CANNOT assume is that all reactions should be interpreted as the author supporting them.
We will make it more transparent that it's being sent. Right now only people using Amber can see the reaction event being signed together with the report and the mute list change.
Reports are also contextual. There are plenty of people sending Nudity reports for things other people don't think it is Nudity at all.
Reports are absolutely the same thing as a bad reaction. They just use a different event numbers. But if you use them without interpreting what the user was trying to say, you are going to have a bad time in both cases.
You can just send a delete for a reaction. I have not tested it recently, but if you see the post again (might need to unblock the user) you should see your warning label there. You can click on it to delete it just like you do with any other reaction on Amethyst.
Reports ARE associating the content with the user of the app. There is no privacy on it. Users are creating an event and putting the reported id on it.
Reports ARE NEVER PRIVATE. The name "report" should already tell you that.
Mutes are private on Amethyst, but other clients make those public as well.
They are all associating the user with the bad content. There is no way to do any of this without that association.
Intentionality cannot be assumed as well.
Lots of people have been replying, reposting and even zapping spammers and impersonators lately. This notion of "users should avoid associating themselves with bad content" doen't work because it is inevitable.
It's better if we normalize that association and then filter it down by what it actually meant at the time.
On top of that, Clients do a lot in the background. We are generally signing tons of events left and right to just operate. Yeah, we can ask permissions every single time, but that will get annoying really quickly. We already see that with Amber that people check the first times and then just approve everything the app needs to do to operate.
Agree, any action over reports or reactions must account for those cultural differences. They are like relay hints. Relays and other clients can use them in any way they see fit as long as they know this variance is there.
On the privacy part, Blocks/Mutes are private on Amethyst. Reports are always public.
Both have the same effect for you as a user. But are intended to have a separate effect for others.
How does the bot associate the WoT of the sender to the report it files?
A report from you should be more valid to your followers than a report from a spammer that has not follower.
If that information is not in the Report, I am not sure what's the point of the system because anyone could just report anything they don't like and just hide behind the bot.
Meaning, people get to report and take posts down without being accountable to the public.
Well, in one case, people will report that as Nudity and relays of that culture will accept the report and delete the event. Same for followers in the same culture.
While in the west, the post will stay.
So, processing reports and reactions is always culture dependent. As long as everybody acknologdges that, it should be fine.
Reporting is free speech. Reporting a reporter for misreporting something is also free speech. And people can make decisions based on those records.
Clients have an easier time because we only have one user. We can delete anything that specific user doesn't like. So, we don't need much to make this work.
Relays on the other hand, have the full contact list of everyone and can build much smarter filters based on WoT. I don't think there is any way around it. It's WoT or cease to exist because no one will use you.
And when I mean WoT, I mean pagerank-like graph analysis of pubkeys, not the shallow follows of follows stuff.
Make sense. I just don't see a private framework for reports. Because if you can take a post down while hiding behind privacy, then everybody will just take everything down.
To me there are two options: Users can either participate in the reporting system or not. If they do, they MUST be accountable to their reports. If they are reporting out of a whim, their society should be aware of what they are doing and react accordingly.
Amethyst.social now forwards to npub.pro
Thanks for the theme nostr:nprofile1qqsrx4k7vxeev3unrn5ty9qt9w4cxlsgzrqw752mh6fduqjgqs9chhgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg6waehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6rfw3nx7unrv5hx7mn99uslkdah
Nice! It seems to be working: https://www.amethyst.social/
Feedbacks:
1. Squarespace domains do not allow empty names, you have to put @ as name for them.
2. The SSL certificate generation got stuck generating and I had to re-do it. Then it worked.
