Of course, the context is evident.

I was mentally treating the terms “moderation” and “filtering” as synonymous, since it seems that’s how you view this (I’m trying to read between the lines).

You are talking about “proof in code” which doesn’t really line up with what I think of as “moderation”. Moderation is clearly a social exercise, not a technical one. Reddit mods are not engineers.

Your logic and posture still doesn’t add up to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Moderation as a social exercise in Nostr only works because clients support whatever "social moderation specification" exists in code.

Clients can always fully ignore humans moderating each other. Or they can use that social information in their favor. Either way, the code of the client is what decides if moderation is active or not and how much of it is being run. The social layer can only provide information to the code.

You can verify how much each client complies with your moderation expectations by reviewing its code. That was my point regarding "proof in code"

I see what you’re saying 🤝🏻
