Okay, checking in again on nostr after some time away. Trying Primal, which seems to have improved a lot since I last tested it... What else should I be looking at?

But is there even a way to display that info?

Perhaps I just haven't used nostr enough, but the part I've been trying to wrap my head around regarding relay moderation is... that I haven't seen any simple system that explains what each relay's moderation philosophy is. It feels like as you sign up for relays that should be made clear, but none of the clients I've played around with seem to present relays in such a manner.
It seems like the moderation details, if they're all going to be relay-based, should be front and center.
Separately, perhaps I don't understand the tech enough, but relay-based moderation seems like it would only solve for some classes of moderation issues, not all.
I think your idea of having the moderation be a separate service, enabling relays/clients to opt-in makes more sense... but it does leave open the question of who sets up such moderation services, who staffs them, and why...

Heh. I've been staring at primal trying to figure out where the hell you enter you key to login and it's beyond me. At least for me, it doesn't exist.

In playing around with nostr again, I just came across Alby. It *looks* super slick, but I have no idea if it's legit. I could dig in and try to figure out... or I could just ask here and see if anyone has any opinions.

Absolutely hilarious that Musk has now banned the sharing of Nostr accounts. We're such a big threat to Twitter here?
