I appreciate the perspective, and it's an important topic to discuss.
I think it's important to teach people from the very beginning that what they post belongs to them and will shape their future. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, and many of those mistakes are ones that we would love to delete. Goddess knows I've made enough of those types of mistakes myself. But I can't erase them from history, and I have to take responsibility. We can't change what happened, but what we can do is learn from them and then move onto a better path because of what we learned.
If it is too easy to delete, it is also too easy to claim that we are not responsible for our own actions. And really what better way to describe the entire fiat empire than "we are not responsible for our actions". I think that needs to end.
Everything should be out in the open if you said it. The more information we have about someone the better.
Only bad people want to have secrets .
Given the way our society works, I actually disagree with you there. Good people can have secrets, mostly because we know we can't trust the rest of society to be forgiving of mistakes.

I’m not interested in engineering people’s personal development and am deeply skeptical nostr will assist that. But on that thread there’s a lot to be said about being able to move on mentally and not having a bad take stare you in the face every time you log on. It could be way more counterproductive if that is your goal. (This happens anyway even not on a distributed network but it’s more severe here, especially if you can’t block hecklers).
The clear threat from outside actors is more pressing imo. The true ownership of your own information is more pressing imo. (And again of course delete isn’t a magic solution for these for many reasons but it is one barrier.)
