Protocols should leave moderation to the people
Discussion
what do you mean?
I should be more specific - open protocols should not moderate. Moderation is a morality judgment. Only people can do that. Platforms can assist, but it should not be built in the protocol.
So you're against NIP-56 and the mute list. They ask me how people manage to moderate without these minimal tools.
Nope. I use these myself. They’re just not part of the base protocol. I’ve also implemented a spam zap policy in my payment system - any zap of 1 sat (SPAM_THRESHOLD), the recipient keeps the funds, but no zap receipt is issued.
So you’re okay with some moderation as long as it suits your agenda. Got it.
How would it be any other way?
Fair question. Not everyone has the stamina to continue trying to help others if they don’t want to be helped. No shame from me. Truly.
who is "the people"?
Whoever the community is. Not the platform sysadmin nor the standards committee.
yes
