Nostr Web Client

This is how content moderation works on #hive, the first blockchain-based, decentralized social media:

Content moderation on Hive is done on different levels.

Individually via following and muting accounts. Most decentralized approach. Be your own algorithm. Similar to Nostr.

Then there are also subbreddit-like "communities" with moderators and admins. semi-decentralized. Similar to Reddit.

Rewards are distributed with up and downvotes, only after 7 days upvotes become irreversible.

One big account, hive watchers, enforces some anti reward abuse policy, but the content is still stored immutably on a blockchain.

In extreme cases, illegal content is filtered at the front-end level. Several front-ends.

Downvotes are quite controversial but help minimize spam, plagiarized content, account farming etc.

Do you have an opinion on #hive vs #nostr ? I ask because hive has been around longer yet it is my impression nostr is making more waves. What do you think?

good question, both have pros & cons, #nostr is facing similar issues regarding content moderation and we have to see how the debate will play out on nostr. The bigger the network gets, the bigger the pressure on relays and front-ends to censor content, deal with spam, account farming, illegal content etc. Especially front-ends could become the weak spot.
