yeah, i really wish *someone* would make a nostr client that lets you use whitelisting based on social graph. my relay has a scheme where it only allows people in my second degree of social graph post to it. i never see anything nasty. all my follows their follows can post to the relay. it's a very good, automatic filter. problem is that it requires auth to do this.

come to think of it, i should widen the thing so it accepts notes from anyone in that list without auth as well, that would solve the clients without auth. i really wish we weren't here at 3 years in and there is still clients that don't implement auth tho.
