Because it's impossible in a decentralized protocol

You can block on mastodon, nostr relays have been able to filter traffic too

Why not here? I’m not technical so I could be missing something

Mastodon is federated (many-centered), not decentralized. Relays can block stuff here too, but a relay blocking something does not block that thing for its users, unless they only use that relay.

Could you have a network of relays voluntarily adhere to a blocklist?

Yes, and to an extent many will block illegal content. But that's distinct from allowing individuals to block whomever

plebeian ewok 2y ago

I think people would pay to be on a network of relays that allowed block requests/ some level of moderation from user to relay operator

Time will tell I guess!
