I don’t want to store my notes forever. I don’t know why relays would want to do that either. Id be happy to set a duration to keep the notes and then auto delete. Could just have one paid backup relay if needed or self hosted / or just one time backups if needed. I wouldn’t use those things.
If I want the things I say here to be referenced later, I’d use a different format and ensure they are saved and backed up.
I’d be happy with just a delete option. Hate when I spel sowmthjng wrong and post it.
Pun intended. 🤞
I agree with you on this for notes but not for the other stuff. When people write blogs or put work in other content and the publish that, they kinda expect for their content to be on the internet forever. Else it's just a waste of time to write these things.
Relays are in their infancy. At some point they will charge for their service and then you will have an incentive to limit the storage. And yes, I want all the clients to help me pull a backup of all my stuff.
It would be nice if a small portion of zaps to a note can go to relays to offset the cost of storing the note. This would in effect select for more valuable notes to persist in nostr and less valuable notes to disappear. Not an engineer so have no idea about the feasibility.
A user may want certain notes to be kept, like ones that should permanently reside on my nostree or nostr based website ( nostr:npub1pr4du5xl28dy5sh4msz9uddnwxgzupkk4qzjzklv84edc6ruevzqlxmkzp ). it would be nice to have the option to indicate how long a post should be kept (a la the “delete” request?)
