Interesting thought. I mean, the reality is, let's say you blocked me and I created a new acc in seconds, I could see you from that new acc without ever interacting.

Previously someone would have had to create a new email address, then register. It's not a major effort but it's more than you need to do on nostr.

That said, I'm also curious, since Roya quit I've seen some of the petulant boy replies to her and other women on here. It surprised me, but then I had to remind myself that, bitcoin world or not, there's a huge number of men in the world who have no clue how to interact with women.

This leads me to question, would I recommend my daughter joins nostr?

Sure, I think it's great here, the potential is huge. But I've seen the other side of the coin too.

I think, as things stand, if I was to suggest to my daughter that she create an acc here, I'd suggest that she do it anonymously, perhaps even going so far as to not reveal she's female.

That's the equivalent of a digital burka.

Not really a good look.

I woman does not have to be modest to garner respect.

I have as much right to show my tits or face as they do to bloviat their bad takes and anachronistic beliefs. We should not have to see each other if we disagree. Curate your own peace is why I came here.

The only way I can see that working is by locking yourself away on a private relay that only people you choose to allow access to can see and then not posting to other relays where the person(s) you want blocked post.

I wonder, in fact, if it's feasible to have private members only relays where you post private content...?

But then, anyone interacting can just rebroadcast the note to other relays, if I understand nostr properly.

Instead of a technical solution, which seems to me unfeasible, perhaps the answer is cultural change?

I have a spec for relay specific notes that can’t be rebroadcasted, it’s possible, but you can’t stop screenshots. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1146

That'd open up sone interesting possibilities for specific communities within the nostr ecosystem

Thank you will. I just care about access to me, not screen shots.

Also Matt, that is a digital burka.

I should not have to run a relay to be safer.

thanks for clarifying what you are not subject to "as a woman"...

but thenx as a woman, may I ask what do you have to do?
