though I appreciate they exist, I’ve never used mute or block (which is a false construct).

I folded and started muting spam accounts
A lie. My blocklist is clear.
Block ?, What is it ?
A false construct?
jackはミュートもブロックも使ったことがない。

I never have until Nostr. My client #amethyst handles it really well. It has All Follows, Global and Blocked Muted. I can easily switch between them whenever I want.
Sometimes I unblock and unmute people after they calm down. Myself included lol..🤭
Turns out… It was a fake. Thank God you said something because I was about to send them a lot of money.
I don't have to lock my doors, but i don't think it's a moral failing for people who do.
Hear me out though: dynamic mute lists with totally customizable parameters, like mute if user posts more than x amount of times within x timeframe, if they use certain words, phrases, or hashtags, or if x amount of your following or followers list has muted them.
With the massive bandwidth usage issues, plus issues of finding coherence in feeds, shouldn’t we be heralding every effective possibility to reduce bandwidth and increase coherence?
If you’ve ever used antisocial media, you’ve implicitly used an automated block / mute / derank / boost list, designed to glorify and promote psychopathy. We can still use those tools except for empathy and group coherence instead.
Got all the love for Jack, you might not of ever blocked but you literally removed a sitting president (and me for saying "retard") from your platform.

I never muted nor blocked anyone on Twitter.
But here, bots are spammy asf even on small pleb account like mine, so it's kind of a necessity.
Exactly. Plus muting and blocking are curation tools anyway. They're optional, no one forces you to use them. It's absurd that people are crying for content "moderation" by relays and clients, but are against users curating their own feed.
False construct? How so?
I’ve also never used either.
I have had to block / mute accounts on Nostr that post crypto spam messages or (worse) some very NSFW images.
It's not absurd it's stupidity.
They don't know what relays can do.
Well these are some of Nostr's main devs, so I would think they know what relays can do, and want to make them do stuff like that.
As if that will help them when the EU comes after them.
How Lyn?
False construct? Just tools like anything else.
Yeah he's against censorship now, but it's a bit fucking late IMO.
EU is pure evil
Well, if you had muted Musk long time ago, we wouldn’t be here in this mess. Twitter would still be alive, thousands would still have their jobs, threads wouldn’t be around and most of all we wouldn’t be dealing with egomaniac’s tweets about pee pee! 🤣
For people who’s suffered cancellation, the block feature is essential to limiting the harassment campaigns and their impact.
it isn't wrong to use mute or block but i agree with Jack - block is an illusion. you can't block somebody on the internet.
i would get blocked on Twitter then my account would be suspended and i would come back on new account and re-follow all the people who "blocked" me.
some of them would block me multiple times as i would lose my Twitter account on average once every year or two.
but i knew my ability to create new Twitter accounts would eventually come to the end with Klaus / WEF pushing for the end of anonymity so i just gave up on Twitter and came here.
being on the internet under your real name is pointless - all you can say using your real name is what the overton window allows. thus you can never say anything of value. i am only interested in discussions outside of the overton window.
have you ever thought about object and commodity fetishism and Bitcoin's influence on it?
He might of never used those but he definatly used the ban button on a US president which I think is way worse....... At least we got Nostr now.
Trying to go "global" can be insane without these tools. 🤙
wait, you still can't REQ someone's blocklist on twitter? wow, that product needs to catch up to the times!
#nostr
I believe the potion of life has been found.
Does the ends justify the means?
Not always, but sometimes, there is no other way. 
He is a fucking hypocrite.
Eu já.
OMG. It would be unusable for me without those features.
Pas toute l 'UE mais disons le mien d'où la plupart des lois et textes liberticides sont créés avant de *s' europeenniaser*...
Bonne astuce
But removing a existing feature without taking a vote from its user (at least verified users who are paying for the product consumption) is not acceptable, tell me one thing if a person is getting spammed by someone appears in the notification section, how do you justify it.
@jack just because you don’t use it, it doesn’t mean that other don’t require it, a software service is nothing but a users requirement and you are not fulfilling it.
Elon’s product is nothing but dictatorship what Elon wants does matters, no other things matters.
There’s truth in what you say keerthivas, and an example of how our systems/markets have degraded the concept of capitalism.
You as the consumer should be winning right now. & it’s a shame that we feel like we’re not.
But you’re here, so maybe we are…? 💭
I'm assuming the data is valuable if/when tools are created to 'list posts minus my friend's mutes' or 'review my friend's mutes' for discrepancies'
you mean block not mute? on an individual level it is useful to have tools to mute other users in my opinion, even block to moderate one's own notes.
How do you deal with spam ? And spam bots ? Or bots who post spam about other bots ?
How do you "appreciate they exist" if you don't use them?
💯 0 muted (looked on snort) 🤯
I use them frequently for scammers and spammers. Every shitcoin post gets a mute / block.
Same here. Airdrop token scams mostly
