lol, it's inevitable. Will be interesting to watch it unfold. As much as I don't want it drowned in porn, from a historical perspective its probably a really important market to capture.

Plus I think for the common user its important to have it early on for the simple fact that the relays need to sort out the tools for filtering/hiding it except for those who *specifically seek it out.*

ie. It could be really bad to not have any porn and get a huge flood of new users in the millions without having dealt with it & then suddenly the onslaught begins.

I think damus already blurs images posted by people you don’t follow.

ah! that's a simple solution

I guess I only really view my following feed so haven't specifically noticed this

I like that #[7]​ blurs images from those I don’t follow. It’s a little inconvenient, but then again I get to choose if I want to see graphic content and not have it tossed in my face.

As the protocol and clients are still new, it’d be great to address the explicit/graphic content issue early on.

Maybe much like the podcasts and music in Apple get marked “E” for explicit. There could be a note tag for explicit that users mark at the note and even account level. Then clients could have the option to filter.

Filter, not censor. Not everyone would use the tag, but the companies that deal in that sort of content might, or may be required by law, and that would help.

It would be interesting to have an explicit *type* of response that was basically a flag for NSFW (or something similar) and you could see how many people marked it as such or maybe there could just be a threshold where relays would treat it differently if tagged a certain way by a specific number of people…

In fact, I guess you could do this pretty easily with badges could you not? 🤔 #[7]​ #[8]

Yep beautiful. Needs to be implemented by all the clients I guess

I like the idea of self-reporting.

Community reporting of others' notes could be gamed by a bunch of bots that have been set to target a certain user.

With that said, a check by the community isn't a bad thing to protect users that want it.

I seem to remember that a tweet could be obscured with the message that this tweet has been reported to contain sensitive content for some users. Tweet wasn't deleted, but you had to click through.

You could have clients have a toggle to turn that feature on/off.

If we think a couple years out and Nostr powers a good bulk of social media. Classrooms use it with their own relays, etc.

It'd be great to have some protection built in for minors that will be using it.

I'm not really crazy about this as people could dogpile on content they don't like just by reporting it into oblivion, and with no limit to how many sock puppet accounts you can spin up this solution would be highly exploitable and opposite of "censorship resistant"

I agree with this. As a user I want to be able to express myself and post content I know that my followers tend to appreciate but not all users want to see. I would prefer to responsibly self-flag such content, this is one thing ActivityPub handles very elegantly in my experience.

TL;DR - We need porn on #Nostr so that we can develop the tools to blur/filter it properly BEFORE there are a shit ton of kids up here and everyone's feed has penises and vag in it.

Ok you start Guy.

🤣🤣

Starting my OnlyFans later today. It will be 1,000,000 sats per video 😂

#OnlyNostriches

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

*inserts NIP joke*

Groovy 😂

I read the first line and thought you were going to say “develop mass adoption…” 😂

But valid concern.

It’s already here

I'm doing my part

That’s a really good point. Slower organic growth and management would be better at this early stage

I'm typically in some weird blurry land between "porn" and "safe" 🙈

As it should be. People should not have two personas, a sexual one and an asexual one.

Why not? It’s called self control.

Because all people have an aspect of sexuality to their personality. It's part of being human. Something having been traditionally considered private is not justification for asking people to change who they are.

Self control is important and necessary. We’re not animals and can separate the two.

This is a massively important distinction.

💯. Let’s have that conversation. My concern is with growth and scale
