We're creating an app store in an adversarial permissionless environment. "Delisting" is only possible today because we have control during this bootstrap phase.

Closed source apps, malware and everything in between is coming. We don't want to become yet another "benevolent" dictator - and ultimately we can't as nostr is a permissionless censorship-resistant protocol.

We will become the best tool for users and developers to find each other with the highest fidelity possible in such an environment.

This is the way

That makes sense.

You want to be a truly free market.

Which just means the people will have to take responsibility for their own choices.

For the zapstore "as protocol" the selection will happen client-side with people decide for themself what to download, what relays ping and what npub trust.

But for your relay you need to decide a policy and you are responsible of what it store and for the zap.store npub you are responsible for what you sign.

This is the way.
