Thanks :) If something gets deleted on iris does it get deleted everywhere else?

Deleting is a “request”, there's no easy way right now to know whether your request is actually honored by the relays.

Thanks for explaining this to me. I don’t understand a lot of the technical stuff here.

Is it up to the relays to “decide” whether or not to delete?

Basically everything that happens in nostr is an optional feature. Relays can either enable deleting, or not. They could theoretically also allow deleting certain things but not others, although I don't know if any relay implementations do that yet.

(There's also no way for anyone else to know whether something has truly been deleted, even if the relay claims that it was.)

nostr is still like a jungle
