Yes, but I think you have to delineate your territory in advance - through hosted, moderated, or cryptographically bound spaces. On Twitter, you were trusting them to be police for the public square. Here, there are no police, so you must personally protect your own space (or start your own town).
In the RL public square, you kind of do have to just tolerate whatever lunatic accosts you, until they cross into criminal assault. We just have a civil society.
In the real world I can remove a person from their ability to talk to me whenever I want. Especially if there are no police. Nostr the protocol is public space, the apps are individual spaces. A party if you will. Maybe a big and open party, but if someone comes in the party acting a fool harassing people and showing kids their ass hole, you kick them out. I get that most men don't understand the safety arguments, but consider every time you mention bitcoin 1000 replies full of shitcoin scam links. Every comment on your post getting numerous scams using your name and face. You post your morning coffee and 50 videos of child rape show up every morning so your account is now associated with child rape. Moderation of some kind is necessary.
Why tell good actors that bring value to go make their own space instead of telling abusive psychopaths to go make their own space? Society is civil because there are social norms and enforcement. This is the same discussion I've had for years with libertarians and anarchists (I'm ancap). You don't need oppressive rules or central police, but you need some social norms and ways to enforce them.
