You know how you can't delete stuff on nostr (kind of have mixed feelings about this but anyway...) but you can delete on twitter.

Could you make some sort of service that saves a post from twitter on nostr, and puts the note link below it on twitter?

Also have mixed feelings about this cos sometimes the deleted posts will be just some spicy statement by a normal person who doesn't want to lose their job. But I'm thinking more along the lines of people in authority backtracking or whatnot. Or simply to preserve gold posts and gem ls from accounts that keep getting suspended.

Would also be some sort of advertising for nostr.

But again, I'm not sure that this is such a great feature of nostr tbh for aforementioned reason. (Why have a system that makes it so easy for someone to dig thru your posts and get you in trouble?)

Anyway.

twitter is locked down pretty hard now i believe so it be difficult (via scraping) or expensive (via API) to do at volume, but maybe with a few notable accs?

you could probably make this yourself in 5-mins with chatGPT if you wanna

You want an idea that will make you a million dollars? Browser plugin for distributed scrapping into aggregating network. With 5000-10000 users you can probably leak 95% of twitter that's of interest to people on the outside.

That'll be 10 million, thx.
