Nostr and fedi need composable moderation like bluesky.
Discussion
Can you define “composable moderation”
Thanks. On nostr:
1) anyone can report posts
2) anyone can label posts
3) you can choose someone else (e.g. nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 ) to be your moderator on Nos.social and perhaps other apps nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch
4) I think nostr:npub1j60x528w2g2vkq5kae5uhh8y7sezjyj20zcsg0v9muc72cmdpu0s0md7ua and co are experimenting with a reporting bot
Thanks nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 We have been experimenting with moderation tools including:
- ability to label (report) notes
- ability to label (report) accounts
- a moderation bot you can subscribe to that will label text posts that are offensive to some.
There’s no centralization on Nostr so our original use of the term reporting was not accurate. We updated the language in our most recent release to say flag. As it better represents what happens. A post that is flagged in Nos and other apps that support NIP56 will have an overlay and label on it. Users have the option to chose if they view it or not.
Until this release labels were all attributed to the person labeling the content which resulted in unwanted backlash from those whose content was being labeled. (This is in part due to one app that is notifying people their content has been reported thus fueling the backlash).
Users in Nos now have the ability to send to Nos which sends the note to the bot for review. If the bot agrees the bot labels the post. If the bot doesn’t agree it comes to our team and we review it (usually these are image notes the bot is not equipped to handle.) if we find it to match the NIP56 criteria we instruct the bot to label the post.
We’ll be sharing more details in the coming weeks on our website and in the bot account.
We'll get there. I've had this planned since January 2022
