Lack of moderation is not a feature for companies who wish to be in control of what people say in their comms channels.

THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.
I would not use nostr for customer support communication. The idea that any one rotten apple can alienate my customers and I can’t do much about it does not bode well.
Also thought: if cash app were to add a nostr feed, doubt they’d want racist npubs floating around freely, even at user-level moderation (muting) - that would just tarnish their brand with one attack article
💯🎯. Not all moderation is evil and I believe some people will always choose to outsource the moderation to someone they trust. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this, if the user is given choice and everything is transparent.
you say that now... because you have a choice now...
Once nostr becomes the defacto social platform companies will not have a choice but to use it.
Wasn’t referring to Twitter use case
Couldn't any other social media company like x/Twitter or Threads, etc., spin up a relay that can work on Nostr? Then users of those apps could post onto the app's relay, and if they violate that app's rules they could be kicked off that app or have their post deleted from that relay.
If this is a possibility, and I don't see why not, x/Twitter, for example, could create a Twitter-like client that runs on their Nostr relay, and also let their users use their x/Twitter handle as their Nip-05. That could help solve the uncertainty surrounding verifying users, esp. celebrities and influencers.
#asknostr 🤔
Yeah definitely. X could do that any day I think if they wanted to.
To me this is the way to truly create a global public square, as Elon Musk "says" he wants.
Yeah but that’s not what he wants
But there are certain Nostr apps like nostr:npub1zach44xjpc4yyhx6pgse2cj2pf98838kja03dv2e8ly8lfr094vqvm5dy5's Flare.pub, and Nostr-adjacent apps like nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 that don't even publish their comments to the global feed, as far as I know. In the case of Flare perhaps that's a NIP thing.
They do I think
Some will test that lack of moderation.
