Decentralization Does Not Eliminate Bad Actors. Now What?

Every open network has bad actors. The real question is how a decentralized protocol handles them without a central authority to ban anyone. This investigation documents what Nostr is actually building — verified specs, confirmed implementations, and the problems that remain unsolved.

The Feed Is a Constitution You Never Ratified

Most people talk about social media moderation as if the real question is what content should be allowed. That is the decoy. The deeper question is who gets to define salience, because ranking systems govern public life more like constitutions than like rules of etiquette.

🔒 Building Continuum - Chapter 24 — Power, Custody, and Authority

Every digital system encodes an answer to a quiet question: who ultimately decides? Decisions about access, identity, publication, and record permanence are often treated as policy issues, but they are architectural first. This chapter explores how authority is embedded in infrastructure, how moderation and account systems concentrate control, and why custody redistributes baseline power without collapsing social order. Sovereignty here is defined not as isolation, but as structural dignity.

Habla release: mods are us

I'm happy to announce a new release of [Habla](https://habla.news). ### What's new - Moderation tools You can now mute people, hashtags and words and Habla will not show the events that match your moderation settings. The user can choose if they want to mute stuff publicly or privately. If you use a nostr extension for logging in it might prompt you for decrypting your mute list because of this change but you can choose not to decrypt it and only public mutes will be used. Check out your [moderation page](https://habla.news/moderation) by clicking on the profile menu and selecting "Moderation". - Reactions in long form articles and highlights Articles and highlights will now show reactions when rendering on a feed. This allows you to see the engagement a piece of content has and zap or boost it directly from the feed. - Featured feed Due to the amount of low-quality and AI-generated content on the "All" feed Habla will now show a featured feed by default instead. You can still switch to the "All" feed in the feed selector under the "Relays" section. - NIP-05 verification symbol In order to make it easier to spot impersonators or issues with your NIP-05 a verification symbol is shown next to avatar for verified nostr addresses. The NIP-05 nostr address is also shown in profiles now. Bugfix: Invalid nostr addresses will no longer be used for human-readable URLs if they can't be verified client side. --- Happy muting, reading & writing!

The Impossible Problem of Social Media
