The whole world isn't a town square, theres more to connecting individuals than throwing them all together and hoping for the best.

What would you consider a better model?
Give communities the capabilities to build walls around themselves. Censorship isnt the problem, its obligated censorship from individuals who aren't aligned with my values.
- i don't care what you see, i care what i see and i want to curate my feed
- i want to curate a communtiy that isnt centered around hashtags. I want it on nostr because i dont want to be a walled garden, but i want only specific things on my relay/group.
Let relays be some proxy for a definition of a community. The relays you belong to are your public pool - don't shit in it, don't let anyone else shit in it and uphold the same standards to everyone else in that community. Anyone who absolutely needs that functionality can have their own relays to do whatever they want.
Because nostr has no hashtags it gets excessively hard to find specific post. You could build a community perhaps even around a hashtags that a line with your values. Don't can work to your benefit.
I wish more relays had more definition to them, as well. I actually think Nostr might move that way.
I agree, I think we can each do out part to assist new nostriches to tools to use. Like recommending guides
