I don't know if @Gigi was joking but clients should actually offer protection against that kind of stuff -- perhaps not explicitly, but by means of allowing advanced relay choice for each kind of action and circumstance.

IMO, it's not just a technical thing. Different communities become different. IMO, we should remain irreverent, old-reddit style, while opposing the behavior of users like this, for instance.

people who use the word "cyberbullying" are exactly the target... best stick with painting. "which i consider a happy place" - ahhhh okay sfw - welcome to REAL LIFE ? There is no "we". define better.

> by means of allowing advanced relay choice for each kind of action and circumstance “Advanced relay choice” is challenging to be in the domain of the majority of nostr enjoyers.
Blocklists and client-side filtering cannot do what proper relay selection can, because bad users can still make you use all your bandwidth and CPU on their trash. Even rate-limits are already a form of moderation, so there is no point to not do better than that, and custom.
most of the time even I can't tell whether I'm joking or not
