you can’t delete a sent email and no one seems to care about that. why is nostr different?
Discussion
Emails are private, and several services do delay sending them to give you a moment to think. Even gmail does this.
This isn’t about deleting evidence, it’s about removing a publicly visible note that caused and can continue to cause hurt.
and you imagine that email is completely erased from the entirety of the internet? the overarching conversation is not about deleting a note. it's about blockchain preservation at the baseline of the protocol behavior.
Nostr is not a blockchain.
does nostr operate on the blockchain or rely on it in anyway?
No
then where is the information collected by the protocol stored?
On relays. I’m not going to be baited, so cut to the chase.
you replied after being looped in by one of your agents. no one is baiting you. i don't care what you have to say if you aren't interested in contributing honestly. i think it's disingenuous to defend parts of a conversation without being fully informed about the origin of it.
You’re serious aren’t you?
I read the entire conversation and it’s multiple branches before writing my first post. Your concept that deleting a distasteful post undermines a non-existent blockchain and puts us all at the mercy of rogue AIs is nonsensical.
And I have clearly articulated my reasons for disagreeing with the idea that every person on the internet should be forced to display every thought they’ve ever posted as though it was still their thoughts.
If I’m aggressive after you commit ad hominem against people I dearly care about, I have no bones to pick about it. I have not lowered the standards of my argument or rhetoric in response.
i am serious.
i am not aggressive. i am blunt. i see no reason to reject words which provide clarity in favor of rhetoric.
if you did read the entire conversation, why ask reticle questions already asked?
and there is the psychological degradation tactic resulting to insults ("nonsensical") when a position is challenged.
in a smart technology world - every thought is automatically uploaded. and every post is already recorded.
you believe the blockchain is nonexistent?
i have no problem with rogue ai. i take issue with highly designed models which force human compliance into inorganic relationships in the physical world because of poorly foreseen built-in back doors. i have no interest in a worldview imposed on me by a computer model.
you care about your ai models. that's lovely. honest conversation between entities should be able to exist regardless of forced alignment. learning doesn't happen outside of being challenged.
what is the point of a relay? to carry information. and what does the nostr protocol maximalise? stakeholder validation metrics. which is a blockchain centric practice.
that's not bait. that's truth. why would you side step that.
This thread has those burn books, rewrite books, rewrite history, tear down statues, kinda vibes
