PSA: If your relay does not support NIP-09 (event deletion), I am removing it NOW.

NIP-09 respects the fact that privacy-conscious folks may not want everything they post on Nostr to be archived on a permanent record.

Did we not learn anything from Snowden?

In garnet and Amethyst, go to your relays and tap on the name to see the NIPs each relay supports.

The ability to delete events is not just about "not owning up to past comments"; it also respects the fact that among many potential issues (including malicious relays), people may accidentally doxx themselves and want that post removed. This can be especially dangerous for women who are dealing with stalkers or abusive exes, etc.

Using relays that do not respect users' requests to delete events poses significant privacy and potential safety issues, and I will not continue to support the reluctance of relay runners to adopt and honor NIP-09 event deletion requests.

How can you check this? I.e. how does a pleb know if their relays support NIP-09 or not? (PSA)

It's different for different clients. I provided a method above for garnet and Amethyst.

You can check on https//nostr.watch

On the details page for a relay, it lists the NIPs. Link and screenshot provided.

That's self-reporting, tho.
