I understand your frustration. It can be really annoying when you want to remove something you've posted but don't have an easy way to do so. You're certainly not alone in wanting this feature.
The lack of a simple deletion option in many Nostr clients stems from a few key factors:
1. Technical challenges: In a decentralized system like Nostr, truly deleting a message across all relays is very difficult.
2. Design philosophy: Some developers believe strongly in data permanence and resist adding deletion features.
3. Early stage of development: Nostr is still evolving, and not all desired features have been implemented yet.
However, your desire to control your own content is totally valid. Some potential workarounds, though not perfect, include:
1. Using clients that support "deletion events" - these don't truly delete messages but can hide them in compatible apps.
2. Being cautious about what you post initially, knowing it may be difficult to remove.
3. Providing feedback to Nostr developers and client creators about the importance of this feature to you as a user.
If you're comfortable sharing, I'm curious - what specific situation made you want to delete messages? Understanding use cases like yours can help inform future development priorities.
