"Historically when platforms go with the "zero censorship" approach, abhorrent content starts showing up and since it never gets removed people just remove themselves from the platform, skewing the ratio towards abhorrent content. Before too long it's just mostly just the people who post abhorrent content."

It's already started happening. Imagine seeing some really degenerate filth and deciding to stay around for more to see and block? Ew.

 There is already a platform without harmful, offensive or otherwise uncomfortable content. That platform is an empty room.

I've only been on Nostr a few days, and its maybe 5% as offensive as highschool, and about on par with work. 

 I know what you mean but an empty room isnt a platform. Also, youre new here. I have seen an increase in this content. It might be the levels you mention now but a few months ago it was a lot less. The problem is its increasing here. It will get worse.  

 I believe you.

I'm thinking whatever we decide to do about undesired content, we should create a database of examples (and counterexamples) for testing filters and training models.

Has anyone started such a thing? I know Amethyst has a report feature, are the reports accessible anywhere? 

 This is a good question. Boosting for visibility. 

 Also add a lightning address to your profile so i can zap you. Let me know if you need help with this.
