Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

figure I should quote this reply on a newer post and not one that’s 93 days old since you aren’t seeing my posts. Yes, I am shadowbanned by many clients. You have to turn “Web of Trust” off to hope to see my posts in some clients. Many central figures in the Nostr social graph have a political bias that ends up marking dissidents for censorship. I don’t support Web of Trust as a mechanism for filters and there needs to be a bigger push to make a fair and open filter of Bayesian mechanism for Nostr like SpamAssasin serves for e-mail spam.

If your client uses “Web of Trust” then yes, I am shadowbanned for some reason. Turn it off and you should get notifications. Tari is from a good chunk the Monero team, Fluffypony et al are all getting in on it. Check it out. I plan on building a lot of products on it.

wow, I was only joking when I mentioned a Nostr “shadowban” )): after getting banned on twitter, everyone kept telling me Nostr was this beautiful heaven and savior for “dangerous” people like me (lol)… so I jumped in with real hope. Hearing that shadowbans can happen here too is honestly such a disappointment… On the client side: I don’t use any! I really dislike installing apps in general, so I do everything 'social' through the Tor browser: if something doesn’t work in Tor, it basically doesn’t exist for Aillia :) and I’ve tried pretty much every browser-friendly nostr client out there, so it’s def not client-specific. Thanks weev, it’s sad but really revealing. (and situational awareness is a good thing). Btw, if it’s not client-specific, is it possible on the relay level?
