I had a similar idea, I'd like a relay that has some automatic censoring for things that are just obnoxious... But then I had more thoughts, this basically leads to me, or you, controlling one space, a little like an admin on a discord server but on steroids. And then if everyone has the same idea to run his own relay to host his own "safe space" we're straying away from the initial concept imo, but would still prefer that rather than fearing to run into porn or gore stuff.

How can we have decentralized "common sense" censorship?

Or maybe the censoring we'd like to see for ourselves should happen on the client rather than the relay 🤔

Sorry, what’s the difference?

Well let's say you want to ban graphic content because it bothers you. You can either:

- Ban graphic content from your relay and experience nostr only from your relay (and other relays that also ban graphic content) from any client you want

- have access to all the relays you want, but use only clients that will filter out messages that have graphic content

It's like a backend vs frontend type of difference, I hope it's clearer
