Global Feed Post Login
Replying to Avatar Marakesh ð“…¦

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.
