Nostr Web Client

I see delete as vital for privacy and to prevent major foot guns. I am extremely cautious when posting images for example. Most of the time, I just CTRL+V it and after a few seconds, I see a link to a hosted image in my client.

Did I accidentally upload an image that I didn't want to share? What would I do if I did?

Another fear I have when using nostr is to copy paste the wrong piece of text, for example a password or something similar, and hitring enter accidentally without checking the post again.

These things can happen and the fact that you can't delete a mistake is terrifying. Posting on nostr often feels dangerous to me.

I remember bringing this up ages ago and it's constantly poopooed. What if you accidentally post something in your camerroll with personal details, you post a photo with your home address visible on a letter, or just accidentally post a photo of a document etc etc. The disappointing answer was to not have anything on your phone with personal details lol.

The other disappointing answer is that everything on the internet is forever and screenshots exist, so nostr is more 'honest' about the situation. You could be in a situation with someone trying to find dirt on you. They may not be all that tech savvy, deleting is 'good enough' to stop that kind of person, with a bit of luck. Why make it so easy??

Nos social seemed to be the only client taking these scenarios seriously. Sadly not available on android.
