 Nostr is nothing if not unconventional and therein lies part of its charm and appeal, and frustrations too probably. It’s the Wild West in a ways. 😂  Appreciated this followup and the direction Primal is moving with content moderation by putting users in control. If there’s anything on nostr that deserves ire and criticisms it is algorithmic feeds. They can be tools to empower the user, but clearly history has taught us of the dangers they pose. By taking these steps early on to give users tools to control their own content moderation, and with other solutions like DVMs being developed, I believe Nostr can put algorithms to work FOR the user, instead of self-serving third parties that don’t have the user’s best interests in mind. Thanks for setting a healthy precedent with these new user settings, and I look forward to what more Primal will deliver to make Nostr a better place. 💜🤙
