Can apps on #nostr delete your post/ban your account? Yes (on their app).
But isn't it just opposite of the whole idea behind nostr? No
Every post you make is on nostr not on that 'specific app'. So even if your account gets banned on that 'app' .it will be still accessible from other apps built on top of nostr.
So apps are free to filter out any content/any account on their app. This helps them to have a control over the content being posted there.
But as the whole idea behind nostr is free speech and ownership of content. If an app decides to ban a user for silly reasons/'tradso' reasons, people can leave it and migrate to another app.
There won't be any pull back considering your 'social graph' will also follows you irrespective of the app you use.
So yeah that's the basic idea I have about #nostr.
