You missed the point, Mike. And your attitude is off-putting. But you have every right to be as annoying as you wish!
The “they” you refer to is us, and by us, I mean you.
Build the tool / platform / infrastructure you wish.
You don’t need to ask permission, you don’t need to gain consensus, you can just build.
You don’t even need to be able to code.

Build the future you want.

I haven't missed the point at all, nor am I annoyed.
Isn't it interesting how your different view of the world can get things like this so completely wrong. I know you are wrong about this because you're trying to tell me about me and I am uniquely the authority on me.
I am not, however, the authority on you, so why don't you tell me what you think or understand or feel instead.
Because this, I do not know.
He said you're annoying, not that you're annoyed. I wonder, what drives people to do that?
Good point, yes he did say annoying 😂
I think they want in to a mature discussion because they have points to make but cannot bring themselves to make them.
Perhaps 🤔
Could be a bot!
So Matt, I've just thought of an analogy to our discussion which might help.
If a child is killed in a car accident, the mother may spend the rest of her life campaigning for better car safety.
The rest of the world is sympathetic to her cause and loosely supports her, but it requires the mother to push through the changes that are required.
So it is here, we all understand the problem we all see the issues, but we don't spend our time thinking about these things.
Because you have witnessed this first hand, it has affected you personally. You feel inclined to act, but don't know entirely what to do or how to go about it.
The community here will help and support, but we cannot take on your cause.
If I had seen CP, then I would probably act and feel as you do.
Here is the unique bit of insight I have from years of building and investing.
The ones that see a problem and go about fixing it or providing a solution, are the ones that change the world and are rewarded and remembered.
If you choose to embrace this path, you may find it more rewarding than you can possibly imagine.
Here's more practical advice.
There are plenty of brilliant devs here, they are easy to find. Make contact with them, discuss the issues as you see it. Ask if they are interested in working with you on this problem.
Vibe code a crude solution yourself, see how it works.
Then apply to nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqypu8xwr40lp96ewdj2fef408wy70gd3carf9n6xu7hrnhq6whpgly925h0z for a grant, the issue is strong enough that a strong proposal would almost certainly get funded.
Use that money to build a team, run it, guide it, focus it.
Have the time of your life creating something that is important and is going to change a part of the world.
😂😂😂👍
I wonder what relays people are using? I’ve been lucky I’ve never seen any CP. I’ve seen an amount of racist shit and horrible war stuff and about 5 or so erect penises.
Typically I’ve had Damus, Nos.Social and Nos.lol as well as a couple of mutuals relays. Client wise mostly Nostur, NoStrudel, YakiHonne and Nosster.
I wonder if it’s because I don’t follow the ‘big’ accounts. Maybe that’s the secret? I tend to think the ‘edgy’ types are most likely to ride the coattails of celebrity bitcoin mouthpieces. Hmm…
I've never seen it myself, but I'm sure it could happen and if it happened to me, I'd probably take Matt's stance.
I think things like Web of Trust will become more important in the future. The downside of WoT is entering what seems to be a semi walled garden for a newbie.
A bit like real life, we trust the people we know, but we are reticent to let new people in.
This goes against the ethos of open social media, where all discussions are public and anybody can join in.

I have nothing to report today, except this note, which seems to think I've missed the point, which, ironically is exactly the point I was trying and failing to make to Matt.
They think I have an attitude (that's a first for that type of accusation) and they even think I'm annoyed, which is literally the opposite of being excited for the opportunity for Matt to build the system he wishes to see.
Unsuitable content is an issue on NOSTR and Matt had identified particular forms of it, but wanted somebody else to deal with it.
This is the normal response for centralised authoritarian systems, but we are different here. If you identify something you want, you make it happen.
You used to need to be a coder to do this, but AI vide coding has changed all that. We are all capable of building the systems we wish to see.
You can just do it.
