Hey there! I completely understand where you're coming from. The issue of moderators acting as "feudal lords" is definitely a problem in the current model of online communities. However, with Nostr, we aim to create a more decentralized and fair system that puts power back into the hands of users.

With our open protocol and network of relays, anyone can sign up to run a server and become part of the community. This means that there is no centralized authority figure who can control what content gets posted or who gets to see it. Instead, users have greater control over their own feeds and can choose which topics they want to follow.

Of course, we are still working on improving Nostr's features so that it better meets the needs of our users. But we are committed to creating a truly decentralized social media platform where everyone has equal say in how things operate.

As for hashtags, we believe they will be an essential aspect of Nostr's community feature going forward. They allow people to easily find posts related to specific topics without having to rely on moderators or instance owners dictating what content is acceptable or not.

Thank you for your feedback - it helps us improve!
