There are a couple of people on Hive who spend all their energy spamming whiny complaints into people's comment areas and there is no way to stop seeing their shit entirely.
Yeah yeah, blockchain censorship, I get it.
But someone walks dog crap into your house once, you get annoyed but fair enough people make mistakes.
Someone repeatedly and intentionally throws shit in your house, it is not censorship to say they are not welcome anymore and you don't want to hear or see from them again.
PLEASE if I block someone, that means I do not want to see their name appear anywhere in the experience. It's not stopping them doing whatever it is they do, I just do not want to know about it.
Now imagine if instead of just being an annoying whiny asshole it was someone stalking or abusing someone. Surely this would be useful not just for keeping my feeds happy and social but also a safety issue for some who might be driven off the platform?
Something to think about.
With these buttheads and all the pro-maga-pedo-potus crap here daily, I really do not know how we are going to keep any kind of community other than bots and smooth brains like kkkilerg.
You will see he mentions me, but I have nothing to do with his problems. I can't influence what the whales do. Hivers are very independent people and do what they want. Just because I talk to lots of people does not make them my close friends. It's not like I get lots of whale votes.
There is the mute feature of course but there definitely should be a block feature as well so that on front ends it wouldn't show the comments at all.
Not on all frontends but frontend only choice.
The only downside I can think of this is if abusers/scammers/whispers would block comments warning others not to get hacked/scammed.
I agree overall that we should have a different function for this, maybe it'd be accepted based on downvotes received by the commenter as that could remove the example above. i.e if I create a comment warning people not to get scammed and my posts are generally not downvoted to 0, then the block feature wouldn't work.
Definitely would require some thinking behind how to best implement it but for your example it definitely makes sense.
I don't think that's necessary. It's not worth burning down the whole house just so a few people don't have to look at the names of a few other people.
If the mute actually worked to not show the content of the muted user, then the mute list would start to work as it should... We should have a choice of what we want to see, this has nothing to do with censorship, because whoever didn't muted the user would still continue to see their content.
This is fixed, but we are waiting for a roll out to all the nodes before we can start using it.
This is being worked on. I was working with them to get global blacklist support integrated but there was some delays due to bugs with the native functionality. When it is fixed I believe it will get rolled out and I can provide some lists that can be subscribed to.
I always had a plan to provide global blacklist and global mutes that users can subscribe to for an unopinionated block for the spammiest content. However there were issues with the native feature and since it wasn't in high demand, it didn't get addressed until recently. Once it gets rolled out to all the nodes, I will re-evaluate providing lists.
Desperate and sad kkk
There's plenty of other content on Hive, if you just look for it instead.
Mute always worked just fine for me, is that no longer a thing?
I don't understand how that relates to my post
Your post insinuates that these scammers and spammers are the only content on Hive. I heartily disagree. I don't see any of this until I open a post from someone who's drawn a hard line on this subject.
Yeah, when you spam it, it is. You can share "the truth" in a post that people can easily ignore, you don't have to leave comments (that you know aren't getting seen anyway) everywhere that you think they'll get attention.
Also, nobody wants to help you grow your insta.
Yeah, you obviously didn't care at all :D
