Nostr Web Client

Ask yourself, when you "report" a note or npub, WHO SHOULD THE REPORT GO TO?

Should the report go to all of Nostr? No, because Nostr is censorship resistant by design.

Should the report go to your relays? Well, can a relay operator know or care about all the things that are important to its users? Should a relay block content for all its users? I think mostly not.

My answer is that your report should go to the group(s) that care(s) about avoiding that particular kind of content. And you should be able to benefit from the collective intelligence and work of that group to curate your feed.

Your report should inform your web of trust of an issue. It should go to your relays, and your followers can decide what to do with it. Trust it and block the reportee or disregard it.

I agree that web of trust needs to be involved.

But:

1) you shouldn't have one web of trust, you should have many. In particular, you should have one web of trust for each type of content that annoys you. You should have a web of trust to filter shitcoin content, another web of trust to filter unwanted sexual attention, etc.

2) manually blocking reported npubs shouldn't be the only option - not scalable. You should be able to subscribe to a content-specific group, to which you delegate the ability to block offending npubs for you.
