 Awesome article. Thank you!

 Thanks. I spent a bit of time on this yesterday and it's similar (but deeper) to Oslo freedom conf fireside. There is also this good interview with nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47spzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxtnnda3kjctvll3q2p which gives a bit of tech comparison. 
All the Blue sky hate in this thread seems to a result of massive growth events they weren't ready for. E.g Bluesky have infra for pluggable (ala carte) moderation/filter but only one method exists at the moment. So rock<==>hard place. 
I like Nostr protocol but I doubt I personally would be immune to the  ethical dillemmas that come with no moderation or at the very least default "protective" filtering for children. I was in Amethyst only 15 mins before I was privileged to get a video of some dude wanking. This is with a tiny user base, imagine if the post election X bump here was a tsunami.

More to think on.

 Another good comparison between #Nostr and Bluesky with nostr:nprofile1qqs8d3c64cayj8canmky0jap0c3fekjpzwsthdhx4cthd4my8c5u47spzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxtnnda3kjctvll3q2p

 I have been using amethyst for months and never seen such dude or any other despicable content

can you tell us what did you do to get such content? 
 was clicking around to see who I could follow. I think I was in one of the default amethyst channels, clicked on a user and it was in their threads. I'm neither a prude or making a big deal of it, just have been in security since before Bill said https://www.theregister.com/2004/01/26/well_kill_spam_in_two/ so I know any immunity this protocol has today is a result of its small footprint.
If there are any good threads on bot / troll resistance please point me at them. It strikes me that a creation of a pub/priv key access to relays could pay some sats first time as a disincentive to floods of bots. (bitcoins invention was related to an PoW antispam technology called hashcash, so the similarities and potential is tantalizing).
