But I've got my standard one-note feedback, and that's "what about Nostr?" Mid-episode, a lot of the discussion around moderation of social media seemed to simply assume that there _would_ be moderation, and that the question was "who gets to make the moderation policy?", i.e. whether that's Stanford grads in Palo Alto or (say) the Burmese government. This discussion was aimed at #bluesky, which obviously is still highly centralized, and thus can be regulated. But the question gets more murky when it comes to the #fediverse, and completely obsolete when it comes to #nostr. If we really believe in a future of decentralized social media, we need to shift the question away from "who's going to moderate and how?" to "how to empower individuals, families and communities to build their own opt-in moderation policies?"

A Director at EFF can't discuss Nostr? OK, ask her about Mastodon. The context is the aspect of control of these platforms, and what happens when there is no effective control by any centralized institution. It's analogous to Bitcoin in many ways... Whether you're for the legacy financial system or you just want it to be more "inclusive", it's important to ask questions to "the normies" of "how is your frame of thinking compatible with a new world in which there are no gatekeepers?"
