I will be a real American by blood and soil and spirit for all eternity. If reincarnation is real I will continue to incarnate as an American, deriding and belittling Canadians in every single future life. I never wish to depart the cycle of samsara because no number of lives insulting Canadians will ever be enough. I will kill any remnant of Buddha in my own heart so I can continue to call them shit-sniffing sodomites forever.

under Web of Trust, the people you follow are the main signal by which your client filters. So if you follow people who have muted me, you are going to end up not seeing my posts in some context. This carries over to extra layers in some implementations, which means not only the people you follow can influence the censorship algorithm, but the people that your followers follow as well.While Web of Trust was a good idea, unfortunately there are already people abusing it for censorship purposes. The designers of WoT imagined that people would be using it to report spam. But the reality is that there are now popular accounts running around muting people for political reasons, in hopes that nobody will see their posts.

Firstly, I think WoT is a good start, but there needs to be an escape hatch to prevent misuse by well funded state actors. There needs to be an authoritative list of people that *are not spammers*. Some kind of free speech authority that can provide a list of people who have been targeted by people who maliciously manipulate Web of Trust. The same authority should also provide a list of npubs and NIP-05 handles which have been shown to block people who are not spam. So as to not remove the ability of Web of Trust to prevent abuse, but also to make sure that both those targeted by WoT abuse are not subject to malicious censorship, and those doing the targeting are simply no longer considered valid sources of WoT weights.

no. Look at the powers I just delegated to it. They only get two powers:1) to remove censorship by designating a legitimate person engaged in good faith posting as not a spammer and asking subscribing clients to disregard posts against them when determining WoT weights2) to remove the capability for singular accounts to mark others as spammers, and asking subscribing clients to disregard their graph data when determining WoT actions. They are not allowed to censor. They do not have the ability to censor anyone. There is still not centralized authority that can call someone spam. They can only stop someone from being labeled a spammer maliciously. It’s a reverse RBL.

Well, as it stands, it is impossible to monitor and weigh in on every muting and abuse report on Nostr. But it is much easier to monitor the behavior of a guy running the “these are real posters” whitelist. Because spam is just incredibly easy to identify. If you’ve ever installed SpamAssassin on an email server, you know that Bayesian filters work pretty well and you basically never get spam again. I also think there are going to be very few people getting malicious subject to false reports, and it mostly involves politically sensitive subjects and controversial speakers. So it is a very easy job to analyze the whitelist and verify that accounts aren’t spam. Because they have posts like mine — human looking full paragraph posts that are not repetive and don’t contain an excess of links or financial tickers. We know spam when we see it. And if one of the authorities is whitelisting spam, I think that can be identified very quickly and they can have their authority revoked.

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.

It is probably on the client level. A lot of clients have WoT features. I use @9be0be0f and you have to turn off Web of Trust in the settings to receive DMs from me or get notifications for my replies. In several clients it can be disabled. Maybe your client doesn’t have the capability, but it is on by default in a lot of them. I think WoT is bad because it can create bad incentives (people intentionally blocking/reporting people they don’t like to make sure their posts aren’t seen) but people don’t also realize that this behavior becomes an inadvertent act of censorship to your own followers. There’s a lot of thought going on about how exactly anti spam should be handled in Nostr. Even though WoT seems to fuck me over, I still think Nostr is the medium I want to use to communicate. It is the only thing I am not banned on. The fact that we can even have this conversation at all shows that Nostr is a great medium. Because we definitely can’t have it on Twitter, where we are both banned.

yeah. unfortunately, it was not very late to arrive. There was already “free speech” sites like Gab and Poast. Which I am banned from both of them. Elon unbanned a few federal informants on Twitter and now normal people think the site has free speech (it is actually even more censorious than it was when it was ran by libtards, and I am still banned). But point being, everyone who would desire free speech and decentralization has largely already been silo’d in platforms that do not deliver it, though with the general public perception that these platforms are now very good at delivering free expression. So it is hard to convince people to come to Nostr.

It’s not about the content I post. It’s that they don’t have kompromat on me while I post it. There are countless subjects you are allowed to develop a public following about as long as they have a videotape of you fucking catboys or troons or whatever. As long as they think they can dismantle you, and you are not a threat, you can post a lot. But if you aren’t compromised and you develop a large body of followers, then they get very aggressive. Anyways you can just run a search on my nickname. I’m a public personality. I’ve been on most TV networks. I’ve had pieces published in Condé Nast magazines like Wired. I’m an early Bitcoiner. I’ve set federal court precedent that protects everyone. But there’s a completely arbitrary list that intelligence services maintain, and if you are on this list, you are no longer allowed to use any public utilities.

I was one of the first two political bans on Twitter. Despite some people being unbanned, I am informed by people close to Twitter that I am on a list of people not allowed to use the Internet, and permanently barred from the service. I will not be getting unbanned.If you use centralized social media, as far as I am concerned, it is no different than snitching. You are encouraging your friends to use a platform that is inherently controllable by the state and actively moderated by multiple state and ethnic authorities. Those who have done time or know targets of law enforcement will be familiar with the concept of “dry snitching” — essentially, putting information that you know law enforcement will be interested in within public view or some sort of side channel, in hopes that you will be spared interrogation. Using centralized services is dry snitching. It’s controlled, it’s moderated, and those who use it at this point should be called rats that cede control of the social graph to every form of wicked undesirable imaginable. Yids, sodomites, trannies, filipinos, lawyers, hybernians — all of them can have you and everyone you know silenced and surveilled on Twitter and Facecrook. At this point, people are willfully enabling this, and I operate by prison rules. If you sit at the snitch table, you should be assumed to be a snitch yourself. 1 follower on Nostr is more precious than a million on ZOG platforms to me.

It’s easy to say patience, but social media and small donations were the primary revenue source of my business. You say “patience” but food has been taken off of the table of my children. They are poorer as a result. I am out of patience. My health is failing and my current plan when I don’t think I’m going to have much time left is to give my kids all my crypto and drive a truck into a crowd of the people responsible for this. I’m out of patience.

I disagree. My favorite political philosopher said “the very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence."Tarrant’s arthouse film was the first work of art that ever unburdened my soul and made me feel joy and levity after being tortured by the government. I support all political violence, it brings a smile to my face every time, and I want to share this joy, happiness, and appreciation of fine art with as many people as possible before I depart the mortal coil.

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.

Look in the various clients you’re using. Some of them will allow you to disable WoT.

Derek, Web of Trust *as it is implemented in present Nostr clients* turns every large account with lots of problems into an invisible censor, able to silence people across Nostr. Tons of Nostr clients now require to turn WoT off to receive notifications or DMs from me, *even if the person follows me*. It’s ridiculous.Normal people do not understand that following someone turns them into an arbiter of what they can and cannot see on Nostr. That’s completely unintuitive. It allows for pervasive and unaccountable censorship, not self-governance.

Nostr does need anti-spam measures. It’s just obvious that WoT can be instantly gamed by state actors acquiring accounts with large followings and then muting people to control the WoT graph. There’s got to be additional layers, and some kind of separate authority to appeal to when you aren’t a spammer and are being targeted for political censorship.

It’s on by default in many clients, such as @9be0be0f -- and there’s no labels or numbers. It’s just blocking people. It’s like this in *dozens* of clients now. You can say it isn’t a global metric, but the end point is there’s people who are left wondering why they don’t get notifications for my posts or my DMs.

It's actually true. Install @9be0be0f -- then DM me. I’ll DM you back, you won’t receive it. Turn Web of Trust off in the settings and you receive it instantly. There’s a thread yesterday where @ecbff975 went through a bunch of web clients saying that she never receives notifications for my replies and my replies alone. “Please read NIP-85” (I’ve read it) is not a refutation of what is visibly happening in a large body of clients.

Okay well, this is how Web of Trust is presented commonly and functionally actually working in most clients:https://freakoverse.github.io/wotonnostr/This is a common problem across Nostr — any discussion of common problems with user experience, onboarding, etc, are deflected by “well you’re just using the wrong client.” Well, basically everyone is just using the wrong client for something.
