Nostr Web Client

The proces is you report a note, and than it's up to the relay admin to remove it, but because it is broadcasted to many relays at the same time, it's practically impossible to remove everywhere.

This is how a free internet is supposed to work anyway.

People just have to accept what we can't control.

Thanks Ralph. Do you know instances of someone reporting a post to a good number of relay admins and a good fraction of the relay admins chose to remove the post?

Or is that impossible or very hard to tell.

I’m assuming relay admins are anonymous or pseudonymous by default or can choose to be.

There is some horrific content posted daily in the Global tab (which can be reported to relay admins), but with NOSTR we have the optionality to just ignore/mute what we don't like.

On NOSTR you can always speak your truth without fear of being cancelled/kicked off the protocol. We have to stop asking for permission and just act like you do in real life. Most people are friendly, peaceful and helpful.

those worried about "nostr CEOs" getting arrested and using that as an excuse to not use nostr aren't being true to themselves or have a grave misunderstanding of free and open source software.

as long as client and relay software is hosted somewhere on the Internet, you can download the software and run it.

additionally, you can't effectively block all of nostr either. nostr operates over port 443 or TOR. 443 is the same port that *all* websites use for secure communication.

it's that simple.

I think part of it is people don’t want to switch to yet another social media or messaging platform (whatever nostr is) and have to “start over” and learn the explicit and informal rules of the road for yet another platform.

So they come up with reasons not to until there’s network effects kick in more for nostr.

Thanks. Sounds like you can’t stop someone else form posting whatever they want but you can filter it out by muting (& I understand relay runners can remove a note). there’s a good culture where most are incentivized to self-regulate a bit and be polite, nice and supportive.

What’s the effect or reporting a user? On what grounds? Anyone familiar with this account? Seems like a waste of time at best.

It’s pretty benign here. Very little to no trolling because that’s now how the algo works/rewards.

So everyone self-censors I mean acts polite and there’s basically no notes a state would consider illegal or 99.99%+ of the folks here would consider super offensive?
