Interesting 🤔
There are moderators who moderate photo and video uploads. nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 might be able to answer your question.

At nostr.build we don’t allow any illegal content and will report any content exploiting a child.
We also hide consenting, adult porn from our View All feed, but keep the links. Porn is < 2%, and is not a problem at all.
I have personally reviewed almost all content on nostr.build and the amount of wholesome, creative, entertaining, artistic, content makes me very proud on our nostr community. Even if we made a link just for porn that came in, it would be pretty bad…
From what I’ve seen, I’m not worried at all about nostr becoming a ‘porn’ site. Twitter has way more porn..
Twitter has more users.
Probably because people like censorship. That's clear, based on what Nostr has shown the past 48 hours.
This is good information for others looking to bring more content to #nostr. These are the kinds of questions we get asked.
This is a dilemma. Of course you censored child expoiting content, it is mandatory!
On the other hand if the media content is centralized, that means the opportunity of censorship and it is "incompatible" with free speech.
So we have to find a way to balance between censorship and free speech. In the other words - the balance between centralisation and decentralisation.
You should distribute the burden of reviewing and hosting. Write some deployment instructions so other people can host a nostr.build instance.
Give it time.
We’re at like 100 active users right now.
What happens when it’s a million and many of them are from the Fediverse?
Its about 9000 according to nostr.band stats
Awesome. Thank you!
How did they define active?
Is there a ranking?
We’ll cross the road when we get there, and it all can happen, but I have faith in the community and platform as a whole.
The community will eventually be the globe.
Think about how dumb the avg person is, then realize 1/2 of them are dumber than that….
Sure, and I am being a bit bias meaning more ‘my’ community.
For adult content and porn, I wouldn’t be surprised if complete separate communities form, with their own media servers dedicated to just that..
nostr.build will never be a good ‘porn’ server as we don’t get much, hide all from View All and delete or report anything questionable..
Great work BTW.
Thank you for your contribution.
And you’re right, Nostr will be for everyone.
Yes it is true, and I absolutely agree with you. But the self hosted media will not be censored, so everyone can see them. This is one of the main problem, that must be solved, isn't it?
I don’t see it as a problem. Media is already blurred by most clients if you don’t follow the invidual, and mute and filter tools are becoming steadily more powerful. Those who post illegal content should be reported to the authorities and arrested.
I have not been exposed to anything I find deeply distasteful on here in a long time.
Yes, if I don't want to see illegal content I'll block the account. But the media is remains on the place.
And if you rely on the authorities, you also rely on the state, and this is not the case why Nostr was created: the freedom of speech.
I think we cam find an "automated" solution. E.g. only an idea: different nodes (relays) examine the incriminated media object and decide by voting about it whether it is illegal or not. It is not a new idea e.g. the NEO token's dBFT mechanism does the same as I wrote. Simple byzantine generals problem
I understand. But I will not participate in or contribute to a system that takes moderation decisions away from the end user.
Democracy is worse. It’s mob rule. A vote of relays sounds ripe for abuse.
Don't agree about voting. This was the main problem with Bitcoin System and the verification by nodes solves exactly, the same problem. The math is the solutiom, the majority of nodes must agree about the nonce (found by PoW by a node) is valid so the block can be treated as closed by the system and the winner node can issue the rewarded BTC through the node's own wallet.
This is called byzantyne generals problem and the solutiom is the Byzantyne Fault Tolerant solution. The mentioned dBFT is this but "distributed".
Not all nodes must agree about this, by verification, that's why the 51% attack is one of the main vulnerability of the Bitcoim system. Remember, when every nodes had to upgrade to a new version at 2017 or 2018, when the protocol.was changed.
So it is not true democracy. Democracy only for the nodes with enough computimg capacity, and not equal voting, like democracy. It seems an Incorporation instead. PoS is worse because it means even a census by richness.
