Client software wont want to narrow their market to a particular social subset for moderation purposes.

I think the functional differences between apps will drive the users to their preferences. (One app being better at bitcoin stuff, one being super scriptable and customizable, etc)

After users have their preferences, then they will pick their preferred relays to shape the content. Some are filtered and some aren’t. Clients will allow users to toggle and organize as desired.

This is how it works now and how it will continue to work going forward. Relay curation and mod is why people love nostr.wine. Simultaneously, people clearly chose to add relays like damus and welcome.nostr.wine, they are valuable too.

As I was telling Vitor in another branch here, moderation clearly happens at BOTH the relay and client side and I don’t understand why he’s implying it’s mutually exclusive.

He can disagree with fiatjaf in spirit but I don’t see how “viewing the code” on a client clarifies anything this tricky 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s all kinda philosophical and vague
