Nevermind, I was able to find the conversation myself quite easily using Primal's advanced search feature. Vitor explained it exactly as I described it above: View quoted note → View quoted note → He explained it rather patiently, given how hard you were going after him about it, actually. Even so, after that explanation and the conversation ended amicably, you STILL didn't get it, because you STILL think it's based on mutes. It's not. It's only based on reports, and by default it has to be 5 or more reports (not 4) from npubs you follow, before a post gets covered by a warning, which you can just tap to show anyway...
It's not really "censorship in gloves," and your mistake was not merely the number being 5 rather than 4. You were characterizing it as being triggered when "4 friends mute the same person." Mutes have nothing to do with it. Only reports. People mute other users all the time and for all sorts of reasons. Maybe the person just talks about things they aren't interested in, or they got in a heated discussion about something and they need some time to cool off before seeing that user's notes in their feed again, or they like to read a feed of all posts from a certain relay, but there is one bot on that relay that they don't care to see. That being the case, mutes are not used as a criteria by Amethyst for hiding notes from other users. Reports are much stronger signal, because they indicate that the person is being a jerk in some way. They are posting hateful things, or always using profanity in an abusive way (i.e. "F-you!" instead of "F-yeah!"), or posting sexually explicit images or videos as replies to a discussion about the art of growing bonsai trees, or they're a reply-bot posting about the latest crypto air-drop of some new token that is guaranteed to go to the moon on every post. Can reports be abused? Absolutely, and that is why filters based on reports can be turned off. Even so, they aren't generally abused and they are very effective for helping users curate the content they actually want to see. Even when they are abused, it rarely actually affects what legitimate users see. Vitor mentioned this when he noted how many accounts have reported him, and yet he is still visible because those accounts aren't followed by any real people, only by other bots and otherwise fake npubs. It sounds like you are arguing about two different types of people who could be reporting you. The first type would be "an idiot and his gang of fake npubs" or "one anon who holds multiple accounts," and the other type would be "people on Nostr who hold multiple big accounts." In the case of the anon idiot who has a gang of fake npubs, that won't affect your visibility at all, either on Nostr as a whole, or on Amethyst in particular, just like it doesn't affect Vitor's visibility. If it is just one guy who has an issue with you and he's used his army of fake npubs to report you multiple times, then no one you care about is going to have your posts covered by a warning message, because none of them are following that idiot or his other fake npubs. Barely any real users are going to be following some anon idiot, let alone any fake npubs he's spun up. Real people with legitimately large followings are another matter. If they report you and other real people who also have decent sized followings report you, then some users who follow those large accounts may see your posts covered with a warning on Amethyst. This isn't going to happen if you are generally respectful and productively contribute to conversations, though. Moreover, it's only going to affect your visibility on Amethyst, and not on all of Nostr, unless another client has implemented a similar filter. If you want to be disrespectful in the way you engage with others, then I don't know what to tell you. People don't want to see posts that are disrespectful, and they will happily take advantage of ways to hide that kind of engagement. Now, what do you suppose most people do when they see that warning stating, "This post was hidden because it was reported by these people you follow"? Most people let their curiosity get the better of them and they tap on "Show Anyway" to see if it really deserved to be covered with a warning. If they see that the content isn't actually worth covering up, they have the option to go turn the filter off in their settings, or the next time they see the warning they'll just tap "Show Anyway" again. The point is, the individual user has control over what they see, not the people who reported you. It might be very different if Amethyst just hid the post entirely, without any hint in the UI that it existed at all. But that's not what Vitor and the other Amethyst devs did. They made it obvious that a note had been covered with a warning AND provided a quick and easy means to reveal it immediately. They even show exactly which users reported the post, so you know if the person who posted it is just being ganged up on by large accounts, or if they're just generally a bad actor.
It's not a mere technical distinction, though. It is a substantive one. Mutes vs reports is not just a difference in terminology, like using the technical term "kind 1984, as defined in NIP-56" rather than just using the non-technical term "reports." It is a difference in function and purpose that makes them entirely different things. You were not being "non-technical," but rather careless in your use of terms if you said mutes but meant reports. It's also not "any 5 idiots" that can have control over what you see. It's only 5 idiots that you made the choice to follow who can cause posts to be covered with a warning (which you can readily uncover), and you can change that to be any higher threshold of idiots you want, or turn it off completely. You cannot legitimately characterize it as censorship if the end user always maintains control over what they see and can adjust it to their preference. You may not like it, because you don't have control over whether others see your posts, but that is not censorship. That's just people making decisions about how they will curate their experience on Nostr. And again, it's not just any 5 idiots who can cause your posts to be covered for other users. It has to be 5 specific users who all reported you, and are all being followed by one user, and then only that one user and others who follow the same 5 users who reported you, will see a warning in the place of your post. A warning that they will probably tap to show your post anyway, because they are curious why it was reported. This functionality is NOT an example of censorship. It is a legitimate tool that users can leverage to curate their experience so they only see the type of content THEY want to see. If it was something that could not be turned off, or could not be adjusted to the user's preference, or that the user might never be aware was happening because the post was just hidden entirely, or if it not only applied to people who use Amethyst, but to all Nostr clients, then you might have a leg to stand on. None of those are the case.
This new update makes the interface look like shit. But apparently everything is shit because I give praise to a App Store, the GitHub App Store and then the newest update made the interface look like shit and less information and details
No one lies here apart from you... go and over explain yourself a bit more... Node just after trusting you opened up his eyes and doesnt want anything to do with you anymore... and you are hurt AF.

Censorship is a no go. Censor the censors. I'm switching between Amethyst and Yakihonne. Both are getting me on my nerves but whatcha gonna do? There is no alternative to #nostr...

1. backed by VC incentives, not freedom-based goals 2. There's a notifications bug that's been present for years 3. As far as I'm aware, they're the only Nostr KYC wallet on the protocol 4. Need to connect to their relay for least terrible UX

Good choices. I abandoned Wisp after the whole Google login issue. Nothing against utxo, i just don't want to use my nsec as a replacement for Amber.

Glad that you found it, but i still don't like the fact that Primal stores users' advaced search data.

While these are good points you're making, this little debate you two are having is blatantly trivial, imo, due to the fact that Nostr social clients (save for a very small handful) have effectively stagnated in terms of improvement. As The Beave put it, "It's just stupid at this point."

I'm aware... And i still only get these options. Amber is still missing on the latest update. image
I could have tried @Wisp but it didn't load when it was shared with me. I could be using @Amethyst but it sits blank for a few minutes before it loads anything. I don't have patience to deal with broken tech.

It never was a client, imo. It's a centralized platform that advertises itself as decentralized (which it is, to their credit) only to be used as a marketing trap. The fact that you have to connect to their relay makes their situation even worse. Although I'm not sure that's still a prerequisite.
Well if they're going to censor, the least they can do is allow a person to edit their own notes. 🤨
Are they really censoring? I've always thought it was awful anyway. The Iris client is a good one.

Meh. I'll just use the previois version.
NGL Primal works shitty for me. I love Yakihonne and currently answering from keychat.

can you explain why Primal is not Nostr? do they censor content? honest question cuz i'm still new to Nostr

so.. dare i ask.. wtf are you talking about?
Simply put, if it can be implemented in the client, or made a standard for the relays; there doesn't need to be a central authority who curates what you see.

I would like to add that, a while back, @semisol previously called out #primal regarding their storing of users' advanced search data for 30 days (which they "forgot" to mention to all of us🙄) on their server. They were attempting to make custom feeds off of harvested search data, imo; no different from Twitter. Also, shady behavior, like that, goes completely against the Nostr ethos. This turned into a big thing. Still, interesting that they never mentioned it publicly, until they were confronted about it. They're making the same mistakes that centralized socials are making, but centrals are, at least, upfront about data collection. If you're looking for a better client, i recommend trying one of the Jumble versions👍. I prefer the original made by @Cody and the @GitCitadel version. Ask @Laeserin if you have questions about the last one🫡.

Ok. They fixed it. But, I'm not giving them my recovery phrase; that would be retarded to trust them after everything i previously stated. And there are plenty of other issues that i didn't mention. For example, you can't login using Amber without giving them your nsec, which makes no sense. None. The Amber login issue has been going on for a long time too. And they didn't really fix it, they just created a runaround that coerces users into giving up their nsec.
