Hello friends.

I am very much enjoying #Nostr since I joined a couple of weeks ago. I've been inspired and feeling more creative itch already.

A lot of interesting content is being shared. It is like the dream compared to #twitter.

One feature of this platfotm is the fact that the content is not moderated at all due to the decenralisation(right?). With early adopters this creates a flourishing environment for sure.

The question in my mind is how #nostr will behave if/when it is adopted by the masses and there is no content moderation. Curious to hear different thoughts.

Incentivising the quality content generation with #zapping will for sure be a solid intrinsic tool. This will overtime make people more conscious I guess.

A corner case I can see is "harmful" content creation. For example if someone creates a content with child porn and there is enough people to encourage this harmful content with zapps, this can incentivize more of similar content. May be this is not an issue, ant content should be free to find its place on free market. Interesting to think about.

Very curious about different thoughts.

🙏

You can still receive reports, which will auto block you for the contacts of the user that reported you. In the case of content removal, I think the relay operators can remove content (only from their own relay) and a joint operation between relays could be taken to delete content which is objectively harmful.

Is there a protocol about the removal of the harmful content? I also doubt at what extent this protocol can be implemented as there are no regulatory or compliance obligations, or is it even necassary

Not a protocol as far as I know but voluntary action from the relays.

The challange is who decides what "harmfull" is.

In a centralized organization it's the same 🤷‍♂️
