Exactly. I could even see there being a rolling calculation like “past-30-days trust rating” or whatever (would be really cool if the user could set and change those parameters in the client). There are lots of ways to increase trust without censoring and a big part of that includes accountability and transparency while putting the user experience into the hands of the user themselves.

User reviews - negative and positive - are utilized in e-commerce for the common good. Why do we not also value this kind of “credentialing” so to speak in terms of the quality of our social interactions? Just food for thought. nostr:note15nrs6tezg9d3hfaj8t2teqz7ztlzzylk8ak0g0xcmyv5hlr729wq45whyz

I’m surprised and saddened to see that women are harassed and even threatened on Nostr.

It’s very cool to watch the brainstorming that has followed some recent posts, though. Lots of suggestions of tools - community relays, invite-only spaces?

Someone ( nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev maybe?) recently suggested that under the umbrella of libertarianism, there could be enclaves that embraced various levels of govt control - communes, etc. As long as people can move freely from one area to another, libertarianism or even ancap doesn't preclude other forms of governance that can happen voluntarily on a smaller scale.

Applying this to Nostr, it sounds like we could have communities (clients themselves, or functions within them, or particular relays?) that have stricter blocking/reporting functions. There will probably always be a cost to these in terms of freedom of speech, but as long as we enter those communities or use those tools voluntarily, we can all make that cost/benefit decision ourselves.
