RE: Ureka.Social: New - An On-Chain, Decentralised Bookmark System! No Server? No Problem!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The muting is activated via the shield icon at the top of the posts:
You can view the list of muted accounts in the privacy tab in your settings area.
I haven't extensively tested muting, but it was working last time I checked.

Aah funny enough I just noticed the shield icon shortly after posting that comment, Likely missed it since everywhere else it's generally hidden behind the ... menus haha.
Shield icon makes so much more sense though and yes muting does work, just the lack of global blacklists and reputation based post hiding popped up some accounts that I hadn't muted.
Would I be correct in saying that not having global blacklists and rep based filtering of posts is a design choice?
I get the feeling that per user muting is all that's really needed. The user chooses what they want to see and it affects no one else. seems like the best way to go about it.

Great questions. I actually completely forgot about blacklisting even existing on Hive until recently because I don't use it myself. I thought it might be good to give people the option to use blacklisting, but I agree that actually its probably more empowering and 'decentralised' to force users to take responsibility for their own connections. The biggest reason for me being on Hive and building Ureka is that I have seen first hand how terrible the censorship is online (most people never realise until they start going against the grain of the 'standardised society' publicly). So I strongly intend Ureka to not only overcome that but to also help evolve people's perspective on personal responsibility and free flow of information.
So, basically, I think I'll keep the blacklists disabled for now.
I'm not totally against the reputation based filtering, but I recall when I was being heavily downvoted that I was told 'there is no censorship on Hive, go build your own front end if you want real free speech' (basically words to that effect).. So I have and will experiment for now without the rep filtering. I may add it in depending on the outcomes.
