I’ve read the word Nigger twice today via Nostr client users.
Yesterday, #[0] asked me in a kind and thoughtful way to not spend time engaging with people who post content like the above.
Listening to him and working away this evening ✍🏾🎬📺

I'm sorry to hear that, Angela. It's really disheartening and sad🥺, Those who are behaving in such an evil way don't deserve your attention. Please prioritize taking care of yourself and your loved ones because they are the ones who truly deserve it. 😊

That's horrible, I'm sorry you had that experience.
The trick seems to indeed be to ignore / mute / block.
Unfortunately it's inevitable that in decentralized, free and open network we will have people post horrible things. Even to just test it out, or to provoke/troll someone.
The solution is on the side of client apps (and maybe relays): those need to add features for individuals to deal with the content and pick their own boundaries/limits, etc.
This can include filtering out words, automatically blocking people, only showing content from people you follow, requiring payments on posts in some situations, etc.

words lose their power the more we use them, why get so affected by the arrangement of 6 letters
This problem will never be solved centrally so it's a great opportunity to solve it at the client filtering level.
Relays can try and police "hate speech" but that's a race to the bottom that results in the politicization of speech itself, as we've seen with cultural marxism in the West.
Best to rise above and filter out noise.
You make the world a better place. Thank you.
There r a lot more beautiful in here who only want to spread love & help. Forget about the remaining few, they’ll feel that they don’t belong in due time 💖🫂
Beautiful ppl* :)

Same here. Blocked one of them. There will always be ugliness, but it doesn’t get amplified here.
