The people you blocked manually are cleared when you uninstall or log off. It's just the local database is deleted with that procedure. So, any local content gets deleted together. The people the app marked as spammers are reset every time the app closes and restarts.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 1:16 PM
GM! We will have more performance improvements today. I am basically hunting down the jitter (the one that has been driving me crazy) in every corner of the app until I find it.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 1:04 PM
That being said, I appreciate the concern you raised. It helps keep my assumptions in check.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 11:42 AM
I think you are overreacting. And you can test it. Download Tony's version and see how many new accounts / messages you can see now without the filters. My prediction is that you won't see any difference. The reality is nowhere near the level of "censorship& Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 11:29 AM
Push Notifications won't work without installing a push server. :(… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 3:34 AM
The real question is: how many more accounts do you see in your feed compared to the default version?… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 3:21 AM
It's fully open source. Filters have been there since the early days. Anyone can see the code to investigate what they do.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 3:19 AM
There is no point in building Nostr just to centralize on Damus and Amethyst. We should have 100s of clients.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 2:59 AM
I will definitely take a look on the PR. As long as the experience improves, it should be ok to merge.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 2:56 AM
I would love to test your thesis out. Let's see how many followers they will lose from doing so and who will stay or if it even matters. It's too easy to stay on hypotheticals.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 2:52 AM
Lot's of questions for Amethyst today. I was mostly away doing other things but hopefully, I addressed some of the concerns. One of my biggest beliefs in computer science is that apps/frameworks MUST be opinionated. The author should make decisions that drive a certain type of experience Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 2:00 AM
Tony said that he will do a fork. So, there is no need for me to merge. Also, I asked for a better version not just to disable it.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 12:42 AM
One of the reasons Amethyst is the flagship client is this exact feature. It was the software's natural evolution of a consistent stream of complaints about spam and scams on the platform. The user experience is just better because there is less spam, fewer scams, and these days Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 12:24 AM
He is exaggerating. Reported messages by the people you follow show up with a warning and "Show Anyway" button. They don't disappear. So, users always know when this feature is active for given posts.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 5, 2023, 12:20 AM
Also you are using imgur, which has been blocking and rate limiting views on their image for the past weeks. That's why it doesn't load on other players, not because of Amethyst.… Vitor Pamplona Jun 4, 2023, 7:02 PM
