If you post your messages only to your own relay then in theory you could delete them after a couple of weeks the way you wanted. But they'd only delete from your own relay, if they were boosted onto other relays they wouldn't be deleted from there.

Possible you'd be reducing discoverability a lot posting only to your own private little relay.

I think the culture here is more to post to multiple relays for redundancy rather than bother to run your own. They're just dumb drop-boxes. If you post to half a dozen on them anyway having another that you run yourself doesn't seem to add much.

Glad you're liking Umbrel.

Ah yeah doesn't sound like much point. Maybe I use Mastodon more for my general chit chat, where deleted toots decay over time and keep here business focused. I've earned about £1 in streaming here in a week, way more use than Spotify. Once Umbrel's finished syncing I'll get some proper things sorted again. If I've got sats going direct to my node, fantastic.

Your own Lightning node would be more use than your own Nostr Relay. Lightning needs at least a few hundred quid tied up in channels though, and it ain't easy to manage them yet.

Glad zaps are working out better then spotify but it's a low bar innit.
