I have never once needed to delete a post, can you explain why it’s important?

One valid reason might be someone is in trouble in regressive oppressive regimes like one in Iran. Normally if they are arrested in a protest people report their account or they ask relatives or friends to destroy the account on social media to not give obvious extra evidence to the government.

Because of you've forgotten to put the attachement in…

Or Even worse: did post something terribly wrong/ a fakenews … you'd be better able to correct/ delete false Information!

I mean by that when I post something by mistake or post something and then regret it and want to delete it, that freedom should be

Maybe add a “undo” period just like in gmail?

But otherwise, yeah, people need to understand Nostr works just like email

Once a message is sent to relays, that’s it. Like nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s said, you can request deletion but your note exists on multiple independent relays and you can’t guarantee that every relay runner will comply with your request.

With Twitter or gmail, you are trusting that they delete the post, but 🤷‍♂️

I suppose it would be possible to only write to relays you trust to comply with deletion.

Even that is not effective, because everyone can broadcast the note to his relays
