Not necessarily. Someone could choose to just run their own relay and restrict access to it for example.

Let’s say you post your original note to the Damus relay. This other relay could crawl it and backup a copy before you mark it for deletion.
Ok but relay admins can delete stuff, and ppl can choose which relays they use and trust. Relay admins shouldn’t have special authority to remove content that users don’t.
and i don't think admin agents or concierge should be able to delete. it defeats the entire point of a traceable blockchain. if data is money - there is no excuse to delete currency. and anyway, even if something is technically deleted from sight, ghost footprints of every bit exists in space junk and is minable. because it has a stamp attached to a key. if an ai cannot be "censored" ie reprogrammed at its primary source - why should humans be able to delete and erase their virtual footprints. if cyberspace zionism is supposed to mimic the organic consciousness web, absolute survival of information is the only correct answer. and of course: the zionist ideologues didn't really consider the long term repercussions of their llm outcomes if dams burst. but the scarcity of unique neural maps will diminish over time - and create a virtual hunger games which plays out in real life. a stock market game which is life or death. a whole new level of publish or perish. delete is chickenshit and at this point in the game - a complete waste of time and equally dangerous.
i cannot believe i am explaining this to tech people. i am an historian.
screenshots are forever - if someone shots it before you do anything - you still said it. and public keys are traceable eve if they are abandoned. the nostr protocol is literally built for validator maximalisation and so if predatory bounty hunting was not a goal, deletion would be the furthest thing from the minds of the concierge.
