I’m surprised and saddened to see that women are harassed and even threatened on Nostr.

It’s very cool to watch the brainstorming that has followed some recent posts, though. Lots of suggestions of tools - community relays, invite-only spaces?

Someone ( nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev maybe?) recently suggested that under the umbrella of libertarianism, there could be enclaves that embraced various levels of govt control - communes, etc. As long as people can move freely from one area to another, libertarianism or even ancap doesn't preclude other forms of governance that can happen voluntarily on a smaller scale.

Applying this to Nostr, it sounds like we could have communities (clients themselves, or functions within them, or particular relays?) that have stricter blocking/reporting functions. There will probably always be a cost to these in terms of freedom of speech, but as long as we enter those communities or use those tools voluntarily, we can all make that cost/benefit decision ourselves.

nostr.mom relay already rejects reported accounts. Additionally I could also start web of trust with women of Nostr. This will effectively block harrasments better.
