Oddbean new post about login | logout Say something offensive to find out
Haha, thanks fed, I’m good. What’s one of the most illegal or hateful posts on nostr so far? Any examples or are we just self-censoring per usual?
There is some horrific content posted daily in the Global tab (which can be reported to relay admins), but with NOSTR we have the optionality to just ignore/mute what we don't like. On NOSTR you can always speak your truth without fear of being cancelled/kicked off the protocol. We have to stop asking for permission and just act like you do in real life. Most people are friendly, peaceful and helpful.
Thanks. Sounds like you can’t stop someone else form posting whatever they want but you can filter it out by muting (& I understand relay runners can remove a note). there’s a good culture where most are incentivized to self-regulate a bit and be polite, nice and supportive. What’s the effect or reporting a user? On what grounds? Anyone familiar with this account? Seems like a waste of time at best. #asknostr https://m.primal.net/KRdx.jpg https://m.primal.net/KRdz.jpg
The proces is you report a note, and than it's up to the relay admin to remove it, but because it is broadcasted to many relays at the same time, it's practically impossible to remove everywhere. This is how a free internet is supposed to work anyway. People just have to accept what we can't control.
Thanks Ralph. Do you know instances of someone reporting a post to a good number of relay admins and a good fraction of the relay admins chose to remove the post? Or is that impossible or very hard to tell. I’m assuming relay admins are anonymous or pseudonymous by default or can choose to be.
No one knows, we can only guess. Authorities will always try to enforce rules on gatekeepers, but with NOSTR it is much more difficult to track them down. That said, I’m not technically/forensically skilled enough to speak in certainties.
It’s pretty benign here. Very little to no trolling because that’s now how the algo works/rewards.
So everyone self-censors I mean acts polite and there’s basically no notes a state would consider illegal or 99.99%+ of the folks here would consider super offensive?
Block those you want blocked. Notes fly free
Exactly
