Right, just thinking about YouTube creators etc. that want to turn off the comments on one (or all of their videos) and find that feature valuable.
People can still discuss and mention which is great.
Nostr has the potential to become more than a decentralized version of twitter. Trying to think through how some of the other sites YouTube, Wordpress, handle comments.
Nostr could become the backbone for blogging. Some bloggers turn off comments and just post their articles, others enable the comments.
Bytheway, I love the comments! Just going through the thought experiment.
seems like that should be something that belongs on the client side, along with filtering rules or anything else to directly influence my experience of how I use it. e.g. client doesn't pull replies to that post so you don't see them; or client filters out all replies with 'clown' in them and doesn't display them.
Anyone might be able to say anything - but you don't have to see it.
Youtubers might turn comments off, but they're still linked and talked about elsewhere on snark forums. If a client could build a robust 'protect my ears' feature people could filter themselves into whatever depth of bubble they liked. (only brand new to Nostr so might have missed something key)
