Hate groups _will_ come to Nostr. It’s kinda a perfect platform for them. So we need to be prepared…

“…it’s really important to remember that only somewhere between 7 and 15 percent of all the violent terrorist attacks come from the far right. The vast majority of violence that we see, including on Jan. 6, is not tied to anybody who’s a member of a group.”
That’s important because hate is somewhat universal. This is why communities that adopt Nostr need to be able to have safe experiences. That doesn’t mean they should be ghettoized and confined to their own relays. It means they need to be able to explore the “common areas” of Nostr and encounter a minimum of hate in the process.
The proposed NIP-69 is part of the solution. So is the proposed NIP-97. Both of those will let people choose their own experiences.
But the “guardians” of those communities - the people who have the fortitude to face the hate - need the tools to find and report the problem so that sympathetic relays can remove the content. That’s something NIP-69 can do that NIP-97 can’t.
We can’t stop the hate. But we can manage it. If we don’t manage it, Nostr will become a very dark place. I would hate to see that happen.
