The main point here is privacy - what he is saying is correct in that some of us do not want to build public data graph. Say I see "Nudity" content - I may want to report it to ensure that those that don't want "Nudity" content can interpret that and hide post. But I definitely don't want to have it public... people will be like - look at Rockstar spending his day browsing nudes on Nostr (would be a cool meme though). The solution here is to delegate reports... like I wouldn't mind sending my Nudity reports to people I trust (like you Vitor / Amethyst), but I don't want to be involved further in acting on those reports. These should aggregated and then used depending on people's preferences.

Agree, any action over reports or reactions must account for those cultural differences. They are like relay hints. Relays and other clients can use them in any way they see fit as long as they know this variance is there.
How does the bot associate the WoT of the sender to the report it files? A report from you should be more valid to your followers than a report from a spammer that has not follower. If that information is not in the Report, I am not sure what's the point of the system because anyone could just report anything they don't like and just hide behind the bot. Meaning, people get to report and take posts down without being accountable to the public.
It doesn't, that's a trade-off. I've considered allowing users to pick public/private reports, because public reports of spam would be far more useful/less dangerous than public reports of e.g. csam or harassment.
I think this is the main point... you've already implemented private / public reporting in a way that you see the most relevant. And the way I understand your position is: reporting has to be 100% public, otherwise you don't consider it a valid report. So if someone wants to report "nudity" you would insist they do it publicly... there is no support for say reporting it privately or through intermediary. In any case - this has been a great conversation and thanks to @ hodlbod for his input as well. I'll keep looking into how to properly categorize notes and then also give that technology to others, think it's very important for scaling Nostr in the future.
