Have they by now come up with a way to moderate things?
Comment on Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media

Nostr vs Mastodon on Privacy & Autonomy:
- Relay/instance admins can choose which content goes through their relay on either platform
- On nostr, your DMs are encrypted. In Mastodon, the admin of the sender and receiver can read them, as can anybody else who breaks into their server
- On nostr, a relay admin can control what goes through their relay, but they can’t stop you from following/DMing/being followed by whoever you want since you are typically connected to multiple relays at once. As long as one relay allows it, signal flows. Nostr provides the best of both worlds: moderated “public squares” according to your moderation preferences, autonomy to follow/dm/be followed by anybody you want (assuming that individual user hasn’t blocked you).
- On mastodon, your identity is tied to your instance. If your instance goes down, you lose your follow/followee list, DMs, etc. On Nostr, it’s not, so this doesn’t happen. Mastodon provides some functionality to migrate identity between instances but it’s clunky and generally requires to have some form of advanced notice.
- Both have all the same functions as twitter: tweet, reply, re-tweet, DM, like, etc.

Read the first bullet point:
- Relay/instance admins can choose which content goes through their relay on either platform

Ok, but can they also delete it once its through?

A relay admin controls what goes through their relay. A user controls who they follow and who follows them. If you want, you can just auto-ignore all DMs directed to you by people who aren’t in your follow list. Also remember that your DMs have to come through a relay, presumably you are connected to relays you trust the moderation policy of, so toxic users can’t use those relays to DM you.

Literally backed by Jack Dorsey and crypto bullshit. Fuck off.

The concept is nice, problem is there are too many cryptobros.

nostr sounds interesting, any good android clients for nostr?

I recommend Amethyst which has all of the core features and very natural UX (similar to mastodon apps like Megalodon)

Well the part of cryptobros is a tradeoff for me. And if we talk about on the crypto currency, i prefer the libre currency which is closer for libre software and very different from bitcoin.
