NIP-56 (Kind 1984): The concept of "reports" can be abstracted as simply "tags"

[michaelhall923]

This would open up the possibility for positive or neutral "reports". For example, users can "tag" an account as being an organization, a "benign bot" (i.e. nostr-commits bot), a nsfw account, a celebrity, etc.

Tags would still retain all the functionality of reports. Tagging an account as "nsfw" is equivalent to reporting for nudity, for example.

This neutralizes the concept of "reporting". It makes it so that a report isn't necessarily a negative thing. It's whatever the client/relay/user interprets it to be. It's simply a description of what kind of content you can expect to see from that account. A tag can be literally anything. The free market will decided which tags are the most useful.

Maybe "tags" isn't the best name for this since the term already means something else in nostr, but I think this concept benefits the protocol overall.
