That too! The best way seems to be a combination of algorithmic solutions like that for day to day, and more “brute force” methods like what I posted for cases where a user wants to take no chances.

The option to opt-in to as a setting is nice as it would be controlled by the end user. Better than arbitrary blocks and shadow banning according to the will/mood of some dictator-in-the-making that own an app or relay that has a bigger share of the nostr "universe".

The web version is amazing!

You want to ruin Nostr like Mastodon and Twitter? Go back to your safe space

we should have an account that publicly shares a banlist with the whole of nostr to make sure everyone can block these people Let's call it #nostrblock

where do we share those blocklists though? I think we should share them under a hashtag, something like #nostrblock

i, for one, think that fracturing the network is a good idea

Ability to configure a network of trust is really great. I think options for a user to set who they want to engage with would go a long way. Users could choose clients/apps that they knew supported those features.

Or people can just press the block button themselves instead of crying for someone else to do it for them.

How about having a list of blocked accounts I can take to another client like I do with following? I mean linked to my npub like my profile description. Running one account on different devices/clients and blocking the same people could become quite time consuming.
