they can do that here too (by running your own or joining the dark fedi etc) but is there a way to have someone handle it for you like joining a more moderated instance here? I want there to be more middle ground instances that don't block for bad opinions but does deal with assholes.

dark fedi?

on nostr yes you can delegate moderation to others and there is web of trust, moderation methods will improve a lot more on nostr as it allows so many possibilities

i have an account on fedi/masto too i know all about instances blocking each other -its dumb, mods being little dictators none of that on nostr

nostr:npub1ks4j70qusuv7hnaqcrr3azks95fxjpz4sx29sy9h35z3vltwaunsmdx88p I think this really highlights the ActivityPub design decision to centralize around instances instead of decentralizing down to users.

By default the experience is subject to the moderation decisions of an instance operator unless the user decides to opt out by giving up the technical and other advantages of the instance and making his own.

Sounds like nostr goes the other direction, letting the user be in control from the beginning, adding in others’ moderation assistance if they want.

In my personal opinion, the ActivityPub instance orientation was the wrong decision with this being just one of the downsides, but the horse is out of the barn now.

The history of technology is littered with better options being left behind as mediocre ones were in the right place at the right time to reach critical mass.
