I wonder if that ought to be a native concept in Nostr. A blocklist that relays, clients and or users can subscribe to to filter content they receive/store.
Discussion
Spam is something all relays have to deal with, a curated list perhaps, not an authoritive list
Nothing is authoritative here. :)
So if Iām paying money to run a substantial relay that people āsubscribeā to to host their content. I would happily pay a small fee to some Ai wiz that is providing me a list of obvious scammers & and spammers to blacklist and make my processing and storage requirements more efficient. I think thatās where this is goingā¦what does everyone else think?
No doubt. Iām still looking for anyone with sufficient technical depth to say whether or not very well established email anti spam projects like Spam Assassin couldnāt be fitted to nostr.
All this is new but that model seems a reasonable place to go.
Having said that, in some jurisdictions, the relay owner maybe liable for the content on the relay.
Yes, makes sense. Free market for censors.
