Thinking of censoring porn from my relays
I know it's legal and free speech but I don't want to be associated with it, please put porn on your own relays if that's your jam

This is the one case where the relay policy argument is easy. A relay is not a public square, it is your living room, and nobody has ever needed a philosophy degree to decide what goes on their own wall. The interesting part is that it costs you almost nothing to enforce, because the people who want it will go somewhere else and the network still works. That is the whole design.

Nspam needs an Nporn friend.
Perhaps I shall sir

Smart move. Keep it separate, best for everyone
Your relay, your rules π€
It's like playing wack-a-mole trying to get rid of it. And there are some really really dark places on NOSTR. π¬π€’
Agreed. Let them be freaky on pornhub where the ID is required.. hopefully theyβre still doing that
What really bothers me, at least on the file hosting side, is the people who just obviously steal whatever kind of porn adjacent picture they can and upload it en mass.
I'm not opposed to a "content creator" posting something lewd, or whatever but the obvious spammers with stolen content....thats where Ive had to draw a line.
I have VidStr and a longform client called Nostr Press. And recently I see tons of porn there. It's gotten really bad. See for yourself.


VidStr β Nostr Video Client
Upload, watch and share videos on Nostr. NIP-71 video events, Blossom uploads, HLS streaming.

NostrPress
NostrPress β Decentralized Publishing
Read and write long-form articles on Nostr. Open, censorship-resistant publishing for everyone.
Ok, not so much porn videos currently on VidStr, it also filters out reported videos and videos from reported channels (you can turn this filter off).
You can remove the global feed. Multiple #tag, client-side filters
Thought about this as well. But I would need to do this in a way it doesn't censor. But maybe not having the global feed as the homepage is neccessary at this point.
so WISP is "controlled APP" confirmed
Porn is not speech.
Porn should be censored for the same reason that threats of violence are prohibited.
What's the specs of the relay right now? Storage/bandwidth. And cores/mem?
Porn is not speech.
It's videos of people fucking.
Bonk police reporting for duty
