 Why should it be suicide? What is my report list or mute list? Same sort of list.
Anyone can write any list and publish it. I'm probably on lots of lists. 😂 I don't know and don't care.

We have to get over trying to control what other people write.

 Your mute list is just a collection of npubs you personally don’t want to encounter. Not remotely the same thing as someone building a bot/team to monitor bad/unworthy accounts and to serve on purpose as a signal to others to avoid.

Sure, those lists are a bunch of randos now that don’t affect you, but if you get put on the “bad” list and suddenly you’re reaching 1/10th of your former audience, you might care quite a bit. It’s Linda Yaccarino saying, “Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of reach to justify Twitter throttling certain accounts.” 

It *should* be reputational suicide IMO to try to turn nostr into that, no matter the ostensible greater good of the purported motivation.
