I’ve been thinking deeply about content moderation on Nostr. I’m very pro-freedom-tech but there are problems we will need to solve to scale and be acceptable to a wider audience of user. To help get the ball rolling on improving Nostr’s ability to keep bad actors from poisoning the well here’s a proposal for a freedom maximising strategy for dealing with illegal or just insanity content (as determined by Nostr users) I know this’ll be controversial so I’m looking for feedback and refinements before trying to build something to get this ball rolling.

A proposal for opt-in content moderation in Nostr

In the long term there can't be no content moderation, but it should be consent-based and decentralized.

Hey does anyone know why flights are always delayed now? Like specifically (not just because COVID)? It doesn’t feel like it was like this a few years ago.

Been thinking about where this all goes with Bitcoin. The price isn’t the end goal after all.

Bitcoin's endgames

The price going up is not nearly enough.

@jack any update on the idea for selling space heaters that happen to mine Bitcoin for the owner? I wanna support it however I can. And I bet others might feel the same. It’s just such a damned clever way to decentralize mining again 😂

I’ve started working with @The Nostr Report to publish the weekly newsletter. Here’s the first one! View quoted note →

#ThisWeekInNostr for this week is up! For folks whose client doesn’t support long form content as well as Damus does (yet) here’s the link!

Feedback is welcome, hoping to make something useful for the community 😊

Testing tagging on multiple clients @Greg

Update on https://relay.guide 1. Relays are ordered by how active they are (measured by recent zap activity speed/size) 2. Can search for relays by supported features (marketplaces, event deletion, etc) 3. Can find relays via the lists published by others (NIP 65) Next up… 1. Being able to update your list of relays from relay.guide (authed with alby, etc) 2. Better UX and explanations of what relays are and how to use them 3. See if I can find a way to display spam lists of accounts that are broadcast by relays or relay operators Feedback and feature requests are welcome!
