1) Agree on the anime p*rn being an eyesore for most. Certain relays have more than others. Agree protocol allows for this, and it is the tradeoff of censorship resistance. I see onboarding as the initial part of the challenge here. Specifically on Damus, the current band-aid solution during onboarding is to have a list of suggested profiles to follow thematically separated (homesteading, parenting, media etc.). Discovery post-onboarding, and the "universe view" is the never-ending continuation of this question. Team is aiming to explore the design, and experience here soon ™️ .
Further to the **** problem, there's some work done on using opt-in sensitive image scanning on Damus. It's not complete, and not yet tested for reliability and robustness.
2) > Centralizing a core Nostr codebase under GPL would keep it property of the people forever
My understanding is nostr code is licensed (verbatim) as "public domain".
3) I got you, and appreciate effectively pointing out a single weakness thus far. I hope you continue exposing weak points. Here is a proposed solution for a single client: https://github.com/damus-io/damus/issues/1897. If you have feedback on this solution, I'd be happy to pass on to the dev team. If it's just the problem statement/issue you want to share, I am happy to put on the radar of various nostr clients by generating a bunch of issues.
Lmk if/how I can be of help.
