 How might we provide anti-jerk tools on a permissionless free speech protocol? nostr:note153qzla4cz876t5x48r3cn3ddr6qmq9gdsmj34pw9x0v305sjayls7n2eya 
 Doesn’t WoT address this? 
 No it does not 
 There is no solution that just works
There will never be 
 Care to expand? 
 Jerk is subjective
They will get in your WoT no matter what

The idea of “who I’m following/trusting” moderation is stupid as it gives influencers the ability to censor and content/trust view != moderation view 
 Who gets to define jerk? 
 Good question. It’s very broad, and the definition depends on the person.

Linda is specifically talking about a subset of folk who get harassed more than others. Start here:

nostr:note1f42gsrxnfxaj8k3fw3kpuzupenf3l06vcadhal954rrz878dszgsprref2 
 If nostr is not censorship resistant, even for the jerks, then it's a lost cause. 
 Always will be. The question is how can someone being harassed might filter what they see on their end alone. 
 Block is not enough? 
 From user research by @Linda the multiple people pile on, so blocking one pubkey doesn’t work. 
 Idk, sounds like a fragility issue to me. Do you have links to any of these harassing convos? 
 @Linda can you share 
 We dont have block in Nostr. We have mute which is different. Block implies they can’t post in replies or mention someone.  
 Iirc nos has much more tools for filtering. In your opinion, would they have worked for Roya if she used nos? 
 Please link harassment. I need to verify, not trust. Thank you! 
 There are going to be woke bubble enclaves in nostr who do and say all of the bizarre woke cult things. Because it is their right, and it should be protected. 
What I appreciate about Rabble’s attempt to bring the Berkeley flavor far left woke cult into nostr, is that he is doing it in a voluntary way. Wokies can subscribe to the woke bubble protector bot, and call everyone outside the bubble a fascist to their hearts content. THEY make the choice. Not a Zuckerberg, or a Federally funded NGO. Everyone’s rights are honored. 
You retain the freedom to post extremely hyperbolic Pepe memes, they get to live in a bubble where everyone outside is a racist climate denier. It’s a tribalism win win. 
 My client does have a block button. Lets do a test. I'll block you and you try your hardest to show up on my feed. Ready, go! 
 You can do a search for roya in primal https://primal.net/search/roya and see the conversations - i suggest you dig through there.
