Long press has an option to "report nudity"

Where does the "report" go and what are its consequences? Where does "nudity" begin and end? There is "nudity" in my avatar, albeit implied.

There seems to be conflicting messages in the Nostr experience regarding censorship-resistance versus so-called "safety" and as a user who has constantly walked that fine line (I was an art school model for the longest, so just part of the territory), this is a subject that genuinely interests me.

Implied nudity has always been fine on Instagream, although it can be selectively enforced and the rules are inconsistently interpreted. For Twitter fully explicit content doesn't trigger a ban. For Mastodon & other ActivityPub protocols, rules vary from server to server but users may self-flag content as "sensitive" in order to blur that content for other users (users may click thru the content warning or change their preferences to display these images by default).

Personally I like the way ActivityPub handles this issue. I am not crazy about snitch features like report but I understand such requirements are imposed by both major App stores.
