When I block a user it only affects me. The blocked person can still see my notes and comment etc. but I will just see 'This is from a user you've blocked' and if I want I can then click on it to see the message. At least for me, that's all I need. I'm an adult and decide on my own what I want to see and what not. Don't need moderation to "protect" me.

I agree. Again the issue isn't with nos social, it sounds like we just won't use it. But I'm more curious if this is a wider trend. What is nos social other than a curated block list? Do I really want to research founders to see if they will curate a block list? I suspect in this particular example he would find things offensive which I wouldn't or would have no opinion on even. Only really significant as a wider trend, but curious
If you watch the Nostrica stream, you'll see that he is eager to implement broad censorship; enforced via relays and clients asap.
I see, I probably didn't understand enough. My vague impression was of a social network which was actually more restrictive than current twitter, so why bother being here if that were to come about(?)
More restrictive than Twitter?
I mean what he described as his client sounded like it would probably block a lot of what is currently allowed on twitter
Possible. I think it's just important that we as freedom of speech supporting community speak up and vote by ingoring anything that's goes this route.
You'd think/hope that this would be guaranteed, but who knows.
I don't expect you to know but it made me think in the scenario proposed what if I were following a wide variety of users, one/some of which are on this Curated Offensive Blocklist, would this add me to it by connection..? Anyway, it sounds a bit shitty and hopefully has little/no support
