This is one major problem that Nostr solves, that the "We all need to be using one of the big, public relays" people don't seem willing to acknowledge. The best way to make filtering easier and fairer, is to split the stream into lots of different channels, each moderated according to a different method, by different people.

I can't see what you've linked to. Maybe it's someone I've blocked.

My relay situation is all messed. I need a nostr consultant to help me repair my whole situation.

When they hear "split", "channels" and "niche communities" they assume it means completely giving up on discovery/reach.

It's one of the most deeply held assumptions and keeps people thinking in global public square terms. It's why anything that is called community is automatically labelled "Telegram on Nostr", "Patreon on Nostr" or some other inaccurate benchmark.

Nostr, however, is the first (and simplest) protocol where all communities are interoperable by default. For both content and monetization!

This has implications.

It turns communities into the best discovery mechanism we ever had.

Admins can moderate for one niche, but creators are not turned to keep their publications to one niche. That last part is the blindspot, the thing that didn't exist before and is thus, understandably, hard to imagine.
