 Just mute. It works. And works well. For fuck sake, Nostr is soft as baby poop now. 
Sure there are awful people & accounts. Mute them. Notify your followers to mute to. 
I hate the porn shit & mute all of those accounts instantly.  I also can sense a troll pretty quickly. Muted. 
No zaps set up- muted. 
 How do you notify followers to mute? 
 Also, define troll? 
 An example of a troll is: A banker who committed crimes who is now being questioned explicitly at a hearing and replying, "I'm sorry Your Honor, I don't understand the question."

Another example is a rando on the internet asking people to define what a troll is. 
 Oh wait no, the best one is Bill Gates refusing to cooperate during his antitrust deposition:


Boies: What non-Microsoft browsers were you concerned about in January of 1996?

Gates: I don’t know what you mean “concerned.”

Boies: What is it about the word “concerned” that you don’t understand?

Gates: I’m not sure what you mean by it.

Boies: Is—

Gates: Is there a document where I use that term?

Boies: Is the term “concerned” a term that you’re familiar with in the English language?

Gates: Yes.

Boies: Does it have a meaning that you’re familiar with?

Gates: Yes. 
 Cmon. If our message to newbies is “grow a pair and use mute” they’re just not going to come. 

We’re clearly seeing that 
 Grow a pair and mute. This is what "freedom for me and for thee" looks like. 
 Soft as baby poop. 💩 
 This is where we differ. I don’t care about newbies at all. Not one iota. Fuck them if they can’t figure out what I did. 
Fuck them all.  Stay on Reddit. 
Get the fuck outta my house. 
 Yup. Nostr doesn't need you, but you might need nostr.  

That said, clients can certainly choose to implement algorithms that do a ton of filtering and provide a Facebook like experience for those that want it.  That's the whole beauty of it. 
 I’ve never used Facebook.  Ever. Never signed in once in my life. 
 Apparently you have based in your genes, Sir. 😁 
 Add Tik tok to that list too. 
 That's fine. They can come to my house. I'll help show them the way. 
 This is why we frens 😏
