pv 😎 Update to the Iris global feed for better curation 🤙

"Iris accepts events from users that your social network has interacted with (actions such as follow, like, reply etc. that refer to the npub in question) from your 2nd degree follows and 3rd degree follows that have five or more followers.

For example, if you have a follower and let's call your follower a spammer: If nobody has ever liked, followed, replied or interacted in any (nostr event) way with the spammer then you will not see it.

Your network starts from you and who you follow and goes forward from there. Who follows you is not automatically part of your network unless any interaction happens.

The result is that you get less spam."

You can always Block (private) or Report (public) any user whose feed you don't want to see.

Iris now accepts events only from 3 degrees of separation in your social network. Events from 3rd degree connections are only accepted if they have at least 5 followers in your network.

Exception: if a shown message refers to some specific profile or event, or if you visit someone's profile, it is loaded in any case. This may need some fine-tuning.

Global feed and mentions are much nicer now. This is a great first aid kit, but I'll make these parameters configurable for those who enjoy the unfiltered (or even more strictly filtered) experience.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean we have to listen.
