If Musk woke up one day and decided to turn X into a Nostr based system:
- Issued keys to every user account and allowed users to collect their keys or bring their own
- Signed every message retroactively
- Turned their internal servers into relays so users could collect the now nostr-compliant notes, or post them without being logged in; also for non-X clients to read notes from X relays
- Enabled zap support
But X still:
- Required you to have a user account for the npub notes to be accepted by their relays
- Refused to accept and relay notes that violated their terms and services ie. moderated their relays
- Terminated user accounts if/when a user violated their rules enough times
- Maintained premium subscription tiers that restricted the types of data their relays would handle
What would you think about X, and Elon himself, if this were to be done?
Personally I think it's not an ideal system, but it would be a massive improvement over the current. I also think it might actually be something he could be convinced to do.
