See this is the important difference between open and closed systems.
Closed = DM, group chat, Discord, Telegram, etc.
Open = Nostr, Twitter, etc.
Closed systems require privacy, security, and control of data. Trust.
Open systems require perpetuity of data. Trustless.
They're complete opposites, for completely different purposes. Which is why Nostr will never truly be a good messaging protocol. Workable, yes. But not good.
TLDR: I'm not sure Nostr is even truly compatible with closed system applications at all (such as communities).

I don't believe Twitter is open.
Nostr can be compatible with closed systems. But they're not really truly closed. They're pseudo closed as I keep telling you the content still exists on multiple platforms and multiple relays. It would just be moderated on one specific platform. The way it's done is by a moderation event and then the client sees the moderation event and decides to hide it. So it's extremely client specific. This is done right now on Chorus.
Make communities forkable.
Same content, users, etc, but different moderation settings. Then people can decide what version they want, or if it doesn't exist make their own.
Imagine if your favorite Reddit /r/whatever had mods that got out of control, but you could just fork off the sub and modify the moderation. 🤔
This is a concept that several devs are working on/discussing.
