AFAIK, you can't delete a note if it's already broadcasted.

How is that possible? There’s #nodelete

🤫 oh but there is. It's just not guaranteed to work but it does kinda work in practice.

They're kind of is. It's just not 100% reliable. Or probably even doable..🙂

I don't mean to laugh.

Questions on the asknostr hashtag should always be taken kindly and seriously.

It just reminded me of a meme that answers a related question:

"can you delete on Nostr?"

I get that, but you can request a deletion and relays will respect that request. So there is a delete and in practice it works.

What I'm asking is if there is an undelete once the request for deletion worked in practice.

In theory u can if it is deleted from all broadcasted relays.

Find it on a relay that don't support deleting notes, and broadcast it again. Hope it works for you.
