Were the tools and means to disassociate/block not sufficient? Or was it mere personal psychological failure/folly in trying to defend ones name/honor irt some Anon out there? Or a combination of both? What if it is not some random Anon? What about this is something &#34;tech&#34; can deal with. what about this is just the &#34;human&#34;/inter-social domain, and what/when do things cross into the legal domain?&#xA;&#xA;What role do relay operators play in all of this? Is there a difference between the type of relay? The relay in question is what could be called a &#34;general&#34; relay, in the sense there is no particular rhyme of reason to the content available on that relay. You would not query a relay feed from this relay, people use this relay as their in/out-box. This is important in a practical sense because removal of content on such a relay initiates a probably useless game of whack-a-mole. &#xA;It would however make sense if the relay is curated, and people do use the relay for the particular relay feed it provides; removal in that case does matter, because users specifically go to that &#34;location&#34; for whatever it is that &#34;place&#34; contains/provides. &#xA;&#xA;There is more going on than just this hard distinction between general and curated relays, in terms of what replies to a post from not-followed and or previously unknown npubs one gets to see. But keeping this distinction up for a moment:&#xA;What does moderation imply? I can understand if a general relay wants to keep a &#34;neutral carrier&#34; position as much as possible, after all, a moderation decision on one thing, directly implies a moderation (non)decision on all the other content on the relay.</html></oembed>
