I've never seen any of that. Where are you seeing it?
We just need less bad clients. Exposing unfiltered feeds of unrestricted relays is asking for trouble.
I wrote this more than 2 years ago: https://fiatjaf.com/3f106d31.html
Firstly: Thank you for the reply, and thank you NOSTR! Much respect to you for your service to humanity.
Secondly: I like to run through the NOSTR Firehose every now and again to see what is happening outside of my echo chamber.
This is where I happen to somehow stumble on mega smut. To be specific I have written down some of the tags these sick satanic evil creatures use: pedo, lewd, loli, lolicon, hentai, ai…
nostr:npub1vdaw2fegp4aqkf4mds4htwk3wt6m6my23vvs0vgzy2tgpncv8p5qpwgm7x can you explain please back me up here and tell Fiatjaf what you saw and when?
Again let us work to clean the earth of these sick bastards

There is no such thing as "the Nostr firehose", there are only selected relays. And you should never selected these unrestricted relays, and clients shouldn't make it easy or encourage you to do that.
I'm not interested in learning what you're seeing and what tags they use.
We cannot prevent people from publishing bad content on servers they own (or whatever server that accepts it), that's by design. But with that comes also the responsibility of clients and users of selecting carefully what relays they will use when doing this "firehose" activity. This is an aspect of Nostr that is very much underdeveloped, but getting better with clients like https://jumble.social/, https://www.nostur.com/ and https://nos.social/ leading the way.
Are you saying to use the relays these clients have initially? You can typically add any really to a client, so how are these particular clients “better”?
What does it mean to "use" a relay or "add" a relay? Please read the article I linked above. It's very small.
Using amethyst now. Smutty stuff has a warning which I appreciate and seems to be disappearing. Wish I knew better which relays to avoid though. Got the worst thing I've ever seen in introductions on primal. Might be here too but afraid to check introductions again.
OK I clearly have no clue what I am doing and need to learn a shit ton more…
Duely noted I will do better… sorry for kicking up so much dust here, guess it is time to improve my nostr game.
Again thank you nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 for your time.
Its not a rocket science. look at which relays the bad actor uses and delete these relays from your selected relays.
I don't see any. 600+ follows, using amethyst. 🤷♂️
Choose your relays.
We put in many hours filtering and reporting csam using multiple resources.
It's not from your media server.
use & #follow #hashtags
to find #people to follow. #block those you don't want to see. staying off "global" feed has kept most of it out for me.
Find relays that moderate or clean/paid ones? I haven't even seen mild porn since early 2023 and boy am I thankful for whoever is responsible for me not seeing this content everyone speaks of. That said, I've been blindly trusting my relay operators and clients assuming aren't censoring anything I'm not aware of.
We control our own feeds on Nostr. I don't see any of that, because I choose not to follow the profiles that post it. If you are seeing it, maybe change who you follow.
Wait till you see what people have been doing on HTTP.
I haven't seen any on here, unlike Instagram, twitter bluesky Facebook etc. which all seem to actively push it.
I've literally never seen any.
There is some pirn on the mastodon bridge, but only in global.
OK then I need to figure out how to use relays properly… new lessons.
I don't see any. fix your relays
Amen, anyone have a list of relays that keep this garbage at bay?
