Hot take. 🌶️

Some of you aren’t ready to hear this, but Nostr in its current state doesn’t have a hope of scaling to millions of users until content can be removed as easily as it can be posted.

This means:

– All clients offer a delete option that permanently hides a note that a user requested to delete, even from other clients

– All note types are editable to allow users to fix tags and typos

– Users can un-like and un-repost content if they change their mind

– Account deletion allows for all content posted by a user to be purged

Maybe some or all these things are possible, maybe not.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

When nostr scales to millions without doing any of that, you won’t be able to delete this note😂

Actually yes it will if the consensus of the humans who use NOSTR decide that having sovereignty over your own content is worth it.

I don’t think the nostr network will ever have consensus that you have sovereignty over the notes and other stuff you chose to send to other people’s relays. That’s like expecting a book author to have the authority to tell everyone they’ve changed their mind and want all books returned.
