Couple things

1. Agreed there is no way to stop the content. That’s not the point of the proposal, this is about helping users to get it off their feed at scale, using lists that they choose (or choose not to use any)

2. I really think there’s an order to this. Users should do this primarily. Relays may have to because of their legal liability and they should do it as little as possible. And I hope clients never have to use blocklists. I believe the primary responsibility is on users to choose the kind of content they want (and want filtered out). But relays will also be forced to content moderate at some point.

I just haven’t heard a proposed solution that will help relay operators to not get taken down. Nostr can not be mainstream unless we have many relays in many jurisdictions. But forcing a user-only moderation strategy will have consequences at scale.

Stopping the bad content is a matter of education, and every human on earth working to protect the people in their life from exploitation. It’s a generations-long effort.

but protecting Nostr can help in that effort and preserve the freedom-maximising effects Nostr can have on the world.
