Ill give a case this week of why that is not a good idea. There was a scammer on here posing as a girl, it had some suspicious hallmarks so people challenged the account to post a picture with a shoe on her head. The picture that was posted had a gemini watermark hidden, which I could then warn people about and point out. The scammer edited the post with a watermark remover and called me crazy. But, since we could just repost the original screenshots it was ineffective and people were warned against the scam. If that scammer had the power (s)he'd have deleted all the comments pointing it out, and have kept zap farming people who didn't know. And that is just one case, you can launch entire bot armies all promoting certain talking points and boosting. With automated removal of anyone's dissenting comments to push a narrative, nobody would be able to properly call it out in the comments. I think that kind of scenario is very harmful to the discussion. Can be easily prevented by allowing a user to see the comments that the OP wanted to hide if they choose to, just like you already do for your spam detected comments. Then you do get the initial friendly clean comment section, but if someone abuses the system it would be very obvious and they will be called out on it.

What the hell are you talking about? No user can delete another users comments from nostr. It's impossible. Completely and utterly impossible. Scammers can't stop anyone from replying to anything they post. For example, you can't stop me from replying to your posts.

They are considering to add that ability that is why I am pushing back. Read the full thread to catch up.

if they send sats... 🫡
