Let me be clear, I don't believe in harassment, and I don't believe the 1st Amendment in the US Constitution gives anyone the right to throw something into the faces of people who don't want to see it.
I support Rabble (npub1wmr…g240) in his quest to give people tools to build the kind of feeds that they want to see. Creating a reporting tool that looks at PUBLIC posts and then does something with them is what this development platform is all about. It doesn't take down the post, it doesn't subtract to anyone's experience unless they choose to take action.
At this early stage, doing this with the existing tools that we find in most apps is easy enough. But when we have actual trolls on here, or people building bots that interact with the relay layer and try to push content like ads or pull content like algorithms, we need tools to prevent them from taking away our own agency to control our feed and how the communities that we build and interact with perceive our posts and content.
I want Nostr to be for everyone, ESPECIALLY people that I disagree with and who may disagree with me. Because at least having that level playing field of being able to post what I want is going to be there for me and everyone else. And we should all be willing to take responsibility for and be held accountable for whatever it is that we post. I don't want this to be a limited community where only people who handle communication in one specific way are welcome. Nobody should want that.
I've read the back and forth, I can see both/all sides, and I made my post above because ... Well, because it just became a tennis match and the communication part of things sort of fizzled out. Who stopped listening to the other side first? I'm not sure.
If you're just joining Nostr, build your own network, your own feed. No algorithms. No advertisements. No corporations. Just people being people, whatever results that brings.
