I think blocking distribution becomes difficult. It's too easy to lie about your age to a website. Perhaps it's a place to start though. Treat pornography for minors like alcohol; it's an addictive consumable product.
Defining it is hard because movies and TV often have sexual themes, and as much as I don't care for them, I'm not sure they should be defined as pornography by law. There's clearly a big difference, though, between a movie that has a sex scene and a pornographic video.
I do think there is a place for the law to help teach the people these things, though.
We want the law to balance justice and mercy. Dissuade people who produce and distribute pornography, but cut some slack to people who view it—they are often addicted.
I also think there's a fairly easy line that can be drawn. If a video/film's primary purpose is to portray a sex act, then it pretty clearly qualifies as pornography. I think leaves some room for artistic freedom, even if we as individuals might not view a particular thing as especially artistic.
The real spam is the friends we made along the way
Are you even doing it right if you *haven't* been reported as spam?
That's why I said we should make it illegal to *produce* pornography.
Obviously we're talking on Nostr, so criminalizing possession or viewing would be futile when there is truly decentralized media.
Make it illegal to produce and distribute, though, and you can prosecute the people who are carrying out the abuse and profiting from it. I think that strikes a balance between holding abusers responsible and avoiding limitations of free speech.
This will be an unpopular opinion, but I think it should be illegal to produce pornography. The industry relies heavily on trafficking and exploitation of women.
No, I hardly see it now. Amethyst and other clients have gotten way better at keeping it out of sight from people who don't want to see it.
Even on global I hardly see any porn now. Which is good, I don't want that garbage in my life.
I salute you 🫡
I legit quit Nostr shortly after I first tried it because of all the porn. I came back a month or two later and it had gotten much better
Remembering a time at a work meeting when this dude walked in with the full-size coffee carafe used by the whole office, plunked it on his desk, and proceeded to drink the whole thing one cup at a time.
I got second-hand jitters just watching that.
Men like talking about things, women like talking about people.
Nostr right now is full of dudes talking about how to solve problems in Bitcoin, new features for Nostr, etc. It's great if you care about that stuff.
The thing that makes a social network social, though, is the people. Women typically take more interest in people, which helps balance out the tone and topics of online activity.
So we don't need to quote the post with the boost keyword any more?
$boost
Still not sure I am know how not works lol
Guys, I fixed global

Of course, I also made it impossible for new people to find followers for people who use this feature. What should the default be for new users? I'm thinking 1 — enough to keep people safe, but a low enough bar to allow for discoverability.
Would it make sense to have the Web of Trust number scale as the user's follow count increases?
Wife brought me a cappuccino and a slice of German chocolate cake while I'm working.
Perks of working from home 😁
I'm so tired of the yearly Christopher Columbus debates in the US around Columbus Day. The Left wants to paint him as a historical supervillain, and the Right wants to claim him as a revolutionary hero.
How about we just teach the history. Not everything Columbus did was great, but his voyage was extraordinarily significant to world history, and that's worth remembering.
Was just looking at a weird bug with the team at work.
Turns out all we had to do was change one line in the project config.
Check your config, folks.
Hey.
Listen.
If the news doesn't affect you directly, and you can't do anything about it, don't waste too much time following it.
Don't read about Hamas. Read your local newspaper.
Sorry fam, I just don't have any hot takes lately
