How do delete really work?
Phewwww… I ended up accidentally deleting my Nostr account by clicking “delete” instead of “logout” in Damus.
Fortunately after hunting around for “undelete nostr account” I stumbled on this resource on Github:
https://yonle.github.io/undelete-my-nostr/
…and it saved my arse. Something new to learn!
(I copied the relays from here https://github.com/mattn/nostr-undelete/blob/main/main.go to put into the text box)
Props and thanks to nostr:npub1x3azxuysp5vmfer4vgs4jn5tmfcx4ew8sh0qnev7gczljxsr7jwqa3g4el!

Account deletion in Nostr is basically just setting your profile has "deleted: true" in your metadata.
This project simply removes that line and then send the fixed metadata.
