 Look at the great moderation polices coming to some relays 

https://nostrify.dev/policy/all#regexpolicy 
 Everyone is not going to be committed to freedom of expression, but it's normal, I knew it was going to happen... each time some are going to become more censorious instead of leaving it to the users' decision... it is normal that it happens 
 You need some kinda censorship otherwise spam and CSAM can destroy a relays. Nostrs free4all decisions was very dumb and shows that nobody building the software understands system administration  
 I can think of fleeting ideas but I don't know how difficult they would be to implement... in the same way there is always the option of nuking the relay, although it is the last alternative... really today I can't think of anything concrete for that problem 
 Competing tech to nostr allows you to handle these types of situations easily without nuking your local node or community for 1 bad actor.

Nostr now  is a open notepad file to the world that anyone can write to.  Jb55 of damus created an issue on strfry because his node was getting spammed and needed had to dump the db and do weird hacky shit 

This open design just dont work in reality  
 I have to read more about this part and listen to other devs, you also commented on something similar a few days ago and it also left me thinking 
 Yes..nobody is listening to me.
The ditto relay is actually designed correctly and built for scale.  Not ready yet  
 How is it different? 
 Ditto is built like the Fediverse on the backend  and has administrative controls . Soapbox is the webui. A proven modern web interface  
 That jb retard kept going on and on about how you shouldn't be able to delete things, I honestly think he's actually retarded. 
 Yes and he said postgres was not good for nostr lol

Mastodon, fedi has million of users on postgres
