Nostr isn’t free for some of us until it’s free for all of us. And to do that we need to build a space where people and communities of users can set and enforce community norms for themselves. If we don’t build these tools then we’ll not be able to make Nostr for everybody. Nobody’s saying you need to use moderation labels or relays that take down reported content. Just that for people who want them, they can use them. We need good tools for self management. Authoritarians take and hold power because they claim that they’re the only one to keep people safe. If we don’t build in tools on Nostr to help us keep ourselves safe, then people will think their only option is to use a system with opaque unaccountable centralized control over the platfrom.

That’s why I do the work on nostr:npub12m2t8433p7kmw22t0uzp426xn30lezv3kxcmxvvcrwt2y3hk4ejsvre68j and other projects to provide tools for trust, safety, and moderation on a permissionless open protocol.

And if you don’t believe harassment happens, please listen to people like nostr:npub19vvkfwy9mcluhvehw7r56p4stsj5lmx4v9g3vgkwsm3arpgef8aqsrt562 who helped organize the first Nostr conference in her experience: nostr:note10c90rf00lttrxdvn2q6creqn0u274r9g2qz967wqgvm2myxlgz6sjmdrsv

Or look at what was said to me today: nostr:note14vmyqnz4mgj06fghjjy0ppv53dfexpzzz37ua4z3mmaf33nnf98q742jd4

Either we figure out a way to goven ourselves without centralized control or we’ll end up with that centralized control we’ve been fighting against.

How can you solve the small group of psychopaths that exist everywhere?
