Good inbox/read relays enable their users to shield themselves from association with spam and vulgar replies. No one is censored, as those types of replies can be made at many other locations, and anyone can access those locations to read them if they want. WoT, mutes, and reports can be an active defense for the individual while user-respecting inbox relays can passively enhance the reader experience for all parties. Neither approach is perfect alone. A more-perfect client would enable any user to choose from which source they are choosing to read replies, while also equipping them with the tools to clean up their own experience when necessary.

Free association is a sovereign right, as Epictetus said, it's not what happens to us, but how we respond.

My mistake was a typo, not adding the .com to spatia-arcana 🫠 Seems that my false bug disclosure uncovered a different odd bug πŸ¦—

Wondering is there any etiquette I may need to know when replying or reposting from gated relays? I believe if there was anything deeply precious worth protecting it would be covered by some protocol ...

Generally, no. I think most have somewhat arbitrary criteria of being morally decent, but what that means to the individual in charge is as variable as the communities themselves. "Protected" notes keep things mostly in their place, on stuff intended for a smaller audience (with the understanding that anything on the internet isn't truly private, of course). Eveything else moves around more organically, through liking, reposting, and commenting.

Eventually you will come across topic-scoped relays and chat groups. Most clearly state their focus in the description and name.

@liminal 🦠 ...so, I just discovered that when I connect to one of the pyramid subrelays in Amethyst and its blank, if I leave it as connected, close the app and reopen it, all of the public subrelays will then load. It's when I start or end on my follows that they don't work. When you have a minute, can you try that and see if it's the same for you?
