In theory you can’t delete a note, but if major relays go away, or are recycled, the irony is all notes will eventually be deleted, right? Looking back through my notes and DMs, there is a lot that is missing!! nostr:note147khv04gjy76ffhd77946felkssn243y0lxrrn8zrm0rp45usqjsqqshwc

Do you think ever there will be time where more run their own private relay to back up their notes?
Judging by the images that come in, most people aren’t that serious, just having fun, short term.. I think if people started getting really serious about their notes, maybe if they are used to actually build something on nostr, they would. Biggest problem is, it’s technical and costly..
Actually a note backup service could be a cool idea? A relay that just duplicates everything from certain paying customers?
I'm considering running a relay, but I only want to back up and save my notes and a few friends and family when they finally arrive. Is it possible to configure a relay to discriminate like this?
That’s more of a question for nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m , I’ve never ran a relay..
I think It is hard to hide your private relay address,but you can allow whitelist only to connect to.
Now someone provides one-lick relay service.
You can delete notes in nostr. What you can’t do is force relays to honor the delete request. That’s actually the same thing as what happens on centralized cloud services which just hide content when you “delete”.
What I’m wondering is, are we all thinking our notes are going to last forever on someone’s relay (regardless if we ‘delete’ or not), when in reality our notes will likely disappear as people shut down nodes or ‘free space’ to reduce costs on their relays?
Feature not bug.
