The Mute feature: A user's freedom tool. What is muting on Nostr? Different clients will refer to this as muting or blocking, but the end result is the same. It's a personal content filter, allowing the user to regain their personal freedoms. If you don't want to see a user or a user's content, you can mute or block them. It's highly effective. The best part? The freedoms of the person that was muted or blocked are not impacted at all! They have the freedom and ability to continue to post, reply, and carry on just as they previously were doing. Win/win. This is the freedom to communicate that Nostr empowers us with. Enjoy!

Quite useful on global and for spammers

Mute > Block
They are essentially the same thing on Nostr.

That is not enough for Twitter users. They will only want Mass Relay-blocking like Mastodon

wen can we use others mutes? so we can gangbang spam
Even if that would happen, the user is free to move around to as many relays as they choose, playing whack-a-mole, with censorship. This is now nostr stays censorship resistant. If a relay would block someone, they can move elsewhere or even run their own relay.
block is not the right description but app stores forced iris and damus to call it block, we could have a surpress notifications option which is really mute
I don't think a mute/block list passed around relays is good, but I don't see any harm in a public mute/block list on someone's profile, similar to follow lists. In fact, I think making blocks and mutes public is key. It's very transparent.
depending on the client that you're using, you may be able to see this already.

Yeah. I can imagine a block list being like how I was banned from Twitter with no recourse because no human will bother to even review the situation. My wife was banned for JOKING to stab me in my sleep for posting a boob meme, and then a month later when she logged into my account on her phone I was banned under the evading suspension policy. Multiple attempts to explain, but I just got the same for response. A block list would be the same on big relays. No man power or motivation to look into the justness of any decision.

freedom of cum does not mean freedom from consequences tbh

Only it’s trivial to post on a new account instantly
Will be challenging to create effective anti spams to avoid spamming by new accounts. Some sort of npub reputation, by age and follower network, which is a how I check for bots on Twitter

You can try again. They’re actually processing them with humans now (I think)
