Lol, got it. To be honest, I don’t have much access to client devs (and for the most part, I don’t even know where they hang out to begin with). I started this thread mostly with relays in mind, since the “Other things” folks seem to know what they’re doing. I really can’t say what they’re discussing at the moment—but I do wonder if there’s a plan.
@hodlbod, @hzrd149, @verbiricha, @Cesar Dias, @Cody, @Vitor Pamplona, you’re some of the cool client devs I’ve had the chance to interact with. Some of you even reply to me occasionally 🤣.
Are you planning any changes to your respective clients in terms of moderation and compliance with the whole age verification thing?

I thought about adding it as a joke... because there is no way I could verify a users age
That said I agree we really need more moderation tools for relays and blossom servers. I'm just not good at building backend applications 😞
To be fair I think that noStrudel is not in the worst position given that it doesn't rely on app stores, etc. But I assume that sooner or later all layers will have to do something about it. I really can't imagine noStrudel doing face verification or asking for a photo of my ID, but I really wonder what any clients planning to comply will do. I hope that you all just don't block the UK (as you will be having to do the same for several other countries soon)
In fact, I don’t have the capability to verify users’ ages, haha
Amethyst is a 17+ app on the Play Store because we couldnt get rid of porn safely enough.
For haven users, I do think we need a LOT of tooling. You should be running an AI that parses every type of post for illegal stuff and another one to process every image in your blossom server. And if those tools can decide, they need a way to send you a message so that you can decide to keep something dubious or not. Relay Ops development is one of the worst funded areas in nostr, unfortunately.
What I know is that clients alone will not be able to solve this.
