Big time. Biiiig part of the reason I don't run an instance anymore. Granted with any open and free network its bound to be an issue at some point.

I hope this doesn’t happen to nostr

Is there anything preventing this sort of thing happening on #Nostr?

I have been a Fediverse (the Fediverse predates Mastodon) member since 2009, and I have almost never seen anything that would be illegal in the USA. Each nation has different rules, so for example, I don’t follow anyone from the big Japanese instances, because they allow things that other nations...

ouch, that’s nasty, how are nostrich approaching this tipping point? i know about the architecture behind the protocol but what about if a dominant part that uses the protocols for things like this, will it be okay or would you tale mastodon stance?

Doesn’t this come with the territory of no moderation or little moderation though? I feel like the very same thing will happen here eventually

is it effective to report it?

The best we can do is block, boycott and denounce them whenever we can. Freedom always comes with these tradeoffs
