Try using the nostrudel client. It has a lot of powerful tools now that it did not have a year ago.
I was thinking the same thing. In fact instead of what I was planning to work on next, I'm going to build the moderation tool website for chorus.
Back in June I did some work with fiatjaf on NIP-86 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1325 to create a uniform interface between relays and management software. And chorus supports it on the backend (at least partially). But I'm unaware if anybody has built a NIP-86 front-end web tool designed to moderate relay content yet (showing a queue, 1984 reports, detecting impersonation, etc, etc). So tomorrow I'm going to write some VueJS, something I haven't done for awhile. But I can already tell it is going to be a big project in its own right and so many other nostr devs... someone must already be onto this, right? Do you know of any? A fuck it, I'll just do it my way anyways. I've never been cured of not-invented-here-syndrome.
I have been reading the nip 86 thread and looking for management tools, and trying to figure out the chorus command line that has no docs yet. I thought Gossip was awesome, but Chorus! wow. PoW and WoT will be forged using the gossip model.
Another thought: this translation provides an enormous amount of concordance, and explains how things have been translated over time. This is a sort of open-source translation of the bible. The sort of thing people on nostr will appreciate - https://2001translation.org/

'no delete' as a feature not a bug.
"...there have always been about 5% who are different, who think independently and are connected to reality outside the herd."
"...people who are drawn to positions of power tend to skew towards having psychopathic tendencies, making them ideal candidates to execute inhumane actions against their fellow people."
This is almost funny... I can see the bell curve meme with 95% in the middle as mindless sheep, and 2.5% on each end representing good and evil.
There are a small contingent who see through the error. What they decide to do with that knowledge is their path. These are targeted and enticed with desire and even those with the best intentions see corruption.

I dont post much, but I love nostr. First heard about it early 2023 reading posts on twitter (thank you @shannen@jpegculture.com). This is my kind of social media. No login, no permisson, just do what I want, read who I want.
hey nostr: Make "Please login to write messages" obsolete!
Honest questions will be ignored. Tacos are illegal, read the bill.
Keep calm and HODL #Bitcoin.
Everyone seems to be overreacting to the Samourai arrests, the FBI PSA, and Phoenix leaving the US. Here's my attempt to break it down.
Samourai
You have to unpack all of the different elements. Could this be a state attack on self-custody and privacy? Maybe. Probably not.
There are a few components here that need to be evaluated on their own.
1⃣ Samourai was a self-custodial wallet
2⃣ Samourai was a mixer
3⃣ Samourai was providing normal people with privacy
4⃣ Samourai were knowingly marketing the service to criminals and flaunting that fact
Reading the charges, it seems like #4 is pretty cut and dry for this case. Their getting arrested for #4, doesn't automatically mean #1, #2, #3 are under siege as well. If Samourai was a taco stand laundering money and bragging about it, I'm sure they would be taken down too.
They may be accused of running a money transmitter now, but that may or may not stick. We'll find out in the trial.
All that said, we should always be vigilant to attempts to erode privacy and the ability to self-custody. It just does not seem that this fight is *that* fight.
FBI PSA
Seems pretty normal that the FBI would advise people to use compliant services, and the entire announcement seems to revolve around potential disruptions due to Samourai being taken down, and potentially others in the future. Given they took action, they have to post some bulletin about it.
Remember that when people lose funds or have funds stolen from them, they do go to the FBI for help. From their point of view, the best thing for people to do is use compliant services where they can potentially help.
The announcement concludes saying that services that purposely break the law will be investigated - so again we go back to #4 above. This is nothing new, and self-custody is not being criminalized.
Phoenix Leaving
As nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m said, it's feels completely unnecessary. Phoenix obviously is not a MSB and they are not doing anything illegal. In my view, their exit from the US app stores is a complete overreaction.
Keep Calm
Could "they" come after wallets, developers, mixers, nodes, LSPs, sidechains, eCash, VPNs, encryption, etc? It's totally possible. But if you're not breaking the law, you have nothing to worry about.
To my knowledge, there is still rule of law in the US, property rights are still protected, and privacy is enshrined in the Bill of Rights (nostr:npub1trr5r2nrpsk6xkjk5a7p6pfcryyt6yzsflwjmz6r7uj7lfkjxxtq78hdpu).
It would be very difficult to change the law or stretch it to incriminate these things because it's all just information and software, which is speech. Some will try. But as they are trying, #Bitcoin is becoming more and more mainstream and integral to the world's financial system.
#Bitcoin is freedom technology and it will continue on.
Go outside this weekend and think about why you're here.
"Reading the charges..."
Ha! I laughed out loud. Consider the source before putting things in context based on the charges.
Comments on nostr may be exaggerated, but the authorities have earned the ire. This line of reasoning is typical Maxi Pragmatism.
Every pleb on the planet should be building strong encryped proxies. Nostr relays needs nodes and proxies built right in.
It starts with warnings, then free stuff for compliance, before you know it someone is reading a promt on the legacy news saying "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin". Not much after that is rounding up enemy combatants.
The world needs a distributed git. And soon.
This is a fairly new phenomenom in the USA. It used to be that there was an expectation of service from vendors, and cash was king. If vendors did not live up to expectation word of mouth spread and stores/businesses died. Today people just don't care. They want digital fiat. They don't know how to count or expect anyone to do so becuase 'math is racist' and you don't want to be called racist rite?
The level of how bad this is depends on population and location... In most places now there are soo many people lining up to buy stuff from big box and low quality vendors that these vendors can offend 50% of their customers and not loose any sales becuase there is a line of customers out the door anyway.
"...go back to trading MtGox cards IRL..."
How is this different from trading gold coins, ear rings or necklaces? Gold has mostly the same properties as bitcoin, with the only real difference being weight and transmission through ether. If you bury gold in a remote location it's almost as inaccessable as encryption.
There are no wrong answers in brainstorming and I don't want to slow you down, but this is way off track. The fact that no KYC wallets are getting attacked tells you they are right over the target.
When they turn up the volume you know the system is crashing.
