All censorship on nostr should be
decided on an individual basis by each user. You want quick premade auto updating block lists, fine but the user needs to choose that. If you want it on by default it needs to be made clear to the user how the block list is being created and where it's being pulled from. The only purpose of nostr is to be an uncensored social platform, everything else is tertiary to that.

Thanks for the constructive and nuanced question Derek!

Sure, happy to explain. Our approach here is very simple. At this time there are only two reasons why an account would end up on the "can't trend" list:

1. They are spamming or gaming the trending algo. We curate this list manually to best of our abilities, while we work on improving the algo.

2. They post adult content. We don't have anything against adult content per se, we don't block it elsewhere. Our decision is simply to not promote it in the trending feed because that's not the type of service we are building.

If anyone thinks they ended up on the can't trend list erroneously, please let us know and we will take a look.
