I kinda hope not a single relay complies. It's like deleting a "feature" of a note in the first place. If you don't want to take the highest responsibility for your note there is already an app for that, go join the xtwitter thingy ma do.

My firsts notes I believe are lost forever, probably relays went off or they got busy and had to clear space.
Many relays will honoured deletions because there are many good reasons to, others won't.
Im just curious, what would a good reason be? Im not being combative but my wee little brain often only registers my own views 😂
Grammar, numerical errors, wrong archive uploads... and any human error (or even machine) we could do and would love to correct. If you can delete and repost the correct version it improves the experience overall:
- For the original poster: can keep it's feed clean.
- The client: improves the user experience. Also makes their business more law-ready, since some legislations consider the "Right to be forgotten" a thing, so they would comply with it.
- The relay: same as for the client, and they also avoid storing unnecessary duplicated data that costs money.
- The reader: avoids having to read notes that have errors, or successive notes clarifying the corrections.
At the end is more about de-indexing than actually deleting, because some relays could not honour the request, and that's great, but I believe most actors will benefit from it.
