You can delete a post, but button is missing from most apps. However it’s never truely deleted.. just expected to be hidden by clients with it already and not relayed to new clients.

expecting a couple services in the future that will surface only deleted posts from specific users on request then 😬
For sure. Anything on the internet is cloned and stored somewhere. You can never unleash the beast. Nostr is currently an open social network focused right now.. it’s more a ‘recall event’ feature then deletion.
Plus an archive of deletes can be important for fact checking and ‘history rewrites’ like the people in power love to control.
