This relates to the issue mentioned here and here by @AdityaChaudhary0005 and @FreeTrade

Replies by someone the post owner has blocked are hidden for everyone.

Not sure if this is intentional, or bug.

@maebeam if intentional ill raise cip to propose change.

This uses the post creator pub key - but should it not use the logged in user key ?

My take on this:

Giving the poster the power to censor users in comments isn't a good thing at all for a "decentralised social media". This is not even the case with centralised platforms like Twitter
In future, if politicians ever join BitClout, they can easily censor the voice of media and opposition party and users will think that the politician is good enough that no one opposes him.
I understand, this prevents visibility of spam comments which is a good thing but to solve this issue we can simply hide the post and give a "Show hidden comment" button or something just like we have one on twitter.

Last but not the least, @maebeam knows it what it feels like being censored even when you are right.

@AdityaChaudhary0005 So its not a bug and its intentional?

If it is intentional then this needs to be discussed as a CIP - hence me being keen to figure out if it is a bug or a "feature"

Note i agree with what you are saying by the way.

But fixing a bug will be much easier then changing this if it was intentional.

Yeah, to me it looks like it is intentional but we should wait for the response of core Devs 🙂

If it's intentional, we will CIP it and if it's a bug we can do a PR to fix it

I'm assuming it's intentional - if so, perhaps there could be an option to switch it on/off depending on the node operator's preference.

maebeam commented 3 years ago

This is intentional. CIP is welcomed.

tijno commented 3 years ago

@AdityaChaudhary0005 @FreeTrade as you discovered the issue you want to raise the CIP? If not i can do it of course.

FreeTrade commented 3 years ago

No, I'm working on alternative software, so I won't to get too deeply involved with improvements to the BC frontend.
