Not just racists and transphobes and others you listed - basically everyone that shields toxic delusions does it with copious amounts of gaslighting others, and/or refusing to respond to responses that deserve responses.
On the other hand, absolutely every human would end up with some other human putting those 2 tags on them, rightly or wrongly, so the bigger benefit (way better than the filtering effect) would be encouraging everyone to discuss things in good faith, to prove wrong the people giving them those tags.
quotingThe most-needed tags I know of off the top of my head, for a nostr tagging system. What others are needed? #asknostr

Tags people would tag by hand:
* Verified human
For npubs you have met face to face. Timestamped at time of verification. Used as a whitelist to filter bots.
* Trusted tagger
For npubs you trust not to abuse the tagging system. Could implement as a 0-100 score, or a priority list, instead of binary (this would also work for some other tags).
* Do not trust tagger
For npubs you've seen egregiously abusing the tagging system.
* Trusted truster
For npubs you trust to select other good npubs to trust.
* Promotes scam(s)
For posts or npubs that promote scams.
* Clear future prediction
For a post like "1 Bitcoin will be x USD on y date."
* Unclear/unresolvable/implied future prediction
For a post like "I think Bitcoin is done going down, but it can always surprise me."
* Correct prediction
Self-explanatory.
* Incorrect prediction
Self-explanatory.
* Unclear/unresolved past prediction
The timeframe has passed, but the prediction or outcome was too unclear to make a verdict.
* Humanoid spam
For people injecting topics everywhere, but not literally botspamming. A perfect example is me constantly talking about the need for a tagging system on nostr.
* Ad spam
Self-explanatory.
* Flood spam
Posts where the goal is just to attack a space (like a hashtag or reply section) and "clog" it.
* Gaslighting
Posts where the author attempts gaslighting.
* Discussion abandonment
Posts with replies the author has ignored, without good reason.
