I used “could” because I suspect blocking, reply restrictions, and deletion can happen ~intra-client~. Even though that client or those features might not exist today. Obviously the note and npub access would be different from outside that single client.

Theoretically that’s true - but who would want to use a client where the author of a message can remove comments. The only reason why this works for X is because there is no client that shows you those comments.
As Nostr grows, pro-censorship people will likely want their safe space/their own client
Possibly. But everybody else can still enjoy their uncensored and uncensorable version of nostr. This was the main point:
You can make it so that *you* don’t see, whatever *you* don’t want to see.
But you have no way to make it that *others* can’t see, what *you* don’t want *them* to see.
Agreed. Circumventing any given client is one of the best parts.
My only point was Odell’s original note could be interpreted as, “anything built on top of Nostr will never involve block/restrict/delete” and that is innacurate.
And yes, I realize I’m being this meme guy rn.
