Subnostr

I have been very conflicted on this, I guess it's worth reconsidering the idea of nip-09 == privacy. I personally would (and still intend to) manage a note archive for permanent history, ignoring any deletes of course. I suppose this would likely only relate to kind01, however if I was a pita I would also hoover nip46 traffic and other npub identifying traffic to prove a point. The world is full of malicious people, and I firmly believe once you touch your keyboard you are voluntarily producing information that could be of value to a bad actor. I don't want computing systems to function this way, but the reality is they do.

to also reply to nostr:npub1njst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9s6k7fqx point on "Good Enough deletion to stop an opportunistic bad actor" it only requires someone like me to stand-up an archival service and all it takes is someone to search a profile to supply these "opportunistic bad actors". In fact one could argue this is worse as deletion events could also be recorded and shown that user's attempted to hide/edit notes. I'm simply stating this is too easily combated and will always be the case when content is distributed, period. We cannot force people who believe in permanent history to respect your pseudo-privacy.

I suppose I was thinking of Nostr as it is now, but yeah what you say does make sense. With current tools available it would be slightly tricky for a non-techy disgruntled co-worker to do much, in a low effort way. But yes, it sounds like somebody could build them a very easy tool. (I suppose in this scenario your best bet may be to Delete All and they'd have the same problem as searching through all posts lol, but then why bother).

I disagree with the description of this being people who believe in permanent history vs 'pseudo-privacy'. I think everyone pretty much knows by now the internet is a permanent record. I was merely hoping for a scenario of there being at least a skill/effort barrier and reduction of ease and possibilities.

But yeah I also know v little lol as a non-techy user.

Don't say that. Devs always say stuff like that to intimidate users, so that they don't have to build one more feature they think is stupid. 😂

You're a real user. You're the one with the subject knowledge, not him. You tell him what YOU want and it's his job to deliver or you use someone else's stuff.

It's ok, I always take Dev chat with a pinch of salt. I don't think devs are proper people to be respected lol;)
