I only partially agree with what Don't ₿elieve the Hype 🦊 (npub1nxa…a6q8) said. In particular, he said "there's no instance that decides what's hate and what's not". I believe that is not correct. There is no instance that decides *for everyone*. But for example, each npub can decide what's hate from their perspective (and block accordingly).
Furthermore, since nostr is a free protocol, nothing keeps you from CREATING a new kind of instance that you trust to decide what's hate (or a certain category of hate) and relying on its judgment, for instance by granting it the power to block bad npubs for you.
In this particular case, this would likely be a group #Nostr ladies, who do have the lived experience of being harassed by assholes and creeps (unlike 99% of males who never even come across such a message). Such an entity could decide to "pool" their creep lists so that each member benefits from the work of the others.
Sorry if this has been tried before and I'm not aware of it.
