Also, ignoring the scaling problems of blacklists in general, I think a small on-device LLM would be better than a blocklist because you can tell it "hide anyone who's mean to me" or whatever, full control over the rules on the user side.

Email has blacklists and moderates at greater scale than any protocol on earth, because just like making an nsec, sending email is free.
There’s battle tested protocols that already have dealt with this shit for ages. Email uses a combination of blacklisting AND whitelisting, and this problem is intractable if Nostr doesn’t have both. There has to be a whitelist where you can reasonably appeal and a list of nsecs that WoT should never censor. I totally agree with the whitelisting part.
I don’t believe in absolute blacklisting, but I believe that IP reputation should at least play a part as to if an open relay will accept a post with a media attachment for an nsec with no real history. People can then get whitelisted for media posting, perhaps even without their knowledge, by participating constructively in the network.
