"Our approach to content moderation is based on the idea that everyone can be a moderator" - love it. In my mind this is the most important issue facing Nostr. Can we actually give people choice when it comes to moderation and create a social network where rules are clear, scoped, and different for different communities. Nostr already has implicit rules and moderation happening, this is about making it visible and "on-chain". Let's spend the energy necessary to get this right.

We'll be adopting NIP-68 and NIP-69 in Nos in the coming weeks to start learning what users think of them and enabling experiments around actually acting on these labels.

Super!

BTW, I realized last night that I need to close the loop and show people how the moderation labels will be used by clients so they understand the limits of any "censorship". So I added a section on "Moderator Lists" which define how users can choose their own "moderators" or "super moderators". Because apps _could_ insert things into their moderator lists (nefariously or for good reason - like the user is a kid), I've put into the NIP that client apps MUST clearly disclose it anytime they apply a "base-level" of moderation.

Here's my draft of 69 that has that included…

If you have time to read it over I'd love to have your input. If you like it, feel free to grab the "raw" source and add it to what Rabble committed yesterday. (My account doesn't have permission to do that since I'm a newbie on git).
