 There are two items that can help based on the discussion a couple weeks ago:
1. If someone is harassing a user it is not enough to mute that user bc they are still in the replies. In some cases the harasser’s friends are seeing the replies and piling on. However the person being harassed doesn’t know the harassment is continuing and then is blindsided by the additional harassment coming their way. Freedom from needs to extend to freedom from having someone in your replies continuing to harass you. The current model assumes Nostr is a level playing field that exists in a cultural vacuum and that is not the case. As a result those who experience harassment IRL also feel the brunt of it here. Direct harassment is different from saying whatever you want. It involves being in someone’s replies or mentioning them directly. People need the ability to say no to both of these. 
2. The second issue women reported was being found by random jerks. This happens bc some apps have aggregator feeds. Users need the option to opt out of these. 
I also think there’s more user research needed to understand if other problems exist.
