Agree to disagree. And a statement can be retracted without being deleted.

I'm with you on this point nostr:npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9.

You can't unsay something. Scars of the past can be visible and be painful, but we still deal with them. It takes maturity for both sides to acknowledge where you were previously while also acknowledging who you are now.

However, I do understand the desire for a retraction+delete, and the current social implications for statements being on one's permanent record.

Socially, I'd hope that a system robust against deletion would encourage us all to be more compassionate towards our snapshotted selves while discouraging canceling over previous actions.

Wait a second here nostr:npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf I remember something 🤔while back that perhaps wasn’t wanted on the feed…

Privacy will be maintained. 🫂

But it adds credibility to my thought process on deletes

😅 *maybe* you got me there. Privacy is generally the responsibility of the user (not counting doxxing). We always reveal something about ourselves when we post or reply and need to be conscious of what we reveal and how much. Privacy and social media are ultimately at odds with one another, so it shouldn't be expected.

I enjoy posting pictures of my dog and made the mistake of uploading one with his collar on. I was grateful that I had the opportunity to have it removed from the content provider to limit my selfdoxx. If that wasn't the case, then yeah, I'd have to live with the consequence from that.

Its the same with Nostr. Delete is an option, not a guarantee. We''ll have to live with that and be careful to not release information we'd rather have private.
