A Nostr app isn't centralized, though. I want an app that doesn't make me wade through porn. So do many other people. It's not practical to expect people to personally block porn every day. My goal is to avoid it entirely, and if an app will provide that, along with lots of other great features, many people will use it.
Discussion
I have not experienced wading through mountains of porn. Is this in global? What relays? There is *some* adult content in my global, but I’m not seeing this flood of porn. Not to mention this can be filtered client side, by the users choice. That was not the discussion. We were talking about relay side filtering based on a consensus model across many relays.
I’m mixing two conversations right now. Apologies.
I have no issue at all with client sided filtering controlled by the end user. That’s not what I’m failing against. Sorry.
Yes, global.
Gotcha, my bad.
There are several ways to grow your reach and avoid things that are deeply upsetting. I would suggest searching for hashtags and following mutuals to grow in a safer and more organic way.
I totally respect not wanting to be exposed to certain things. See my other replies in this thread for how I think that could be made better while retaining your personal freedoms.
