Replying to Avatar calle

I see delete as vital for privacy and to prevent major foot guns. I am extremely cautious when posting images for example. Most of the time, I just CTRL+V it and after a few seconds, I see a link to a hosted image in my client.

Did I accidentally upload an image that I didn't want to share? What would I do if I did?

Another fear I have when using nostr is to copy paste the wrong piece of text, for example a password or something similar, and hitring enter accidentally without checking the post again.

These things can happen and the fact that you can't delete a mistake is terrifying. Posting on nostr often feels dangerous to me.

Would a time delay mechanism help do you think? A bit like some e-mail have an insensitive button for about 30sec after you hit send.

Perhaps you can optionally set safety rails for yourself in a client. E.g. you choose a “delayed send” time, 5, 10,15,30,60 sec then when you click post it shows in your local feed with a clock icon. Until then you have the option to click the icon and unsend/edit it. After which it pushes the content to relays.

nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s what do you think? Viable for Damus?

*proved my point, hit send then saw the auto correct of “unsend it” to “insensitive”

Nostur has this. Still, I'd like to be able to delete for the same reasons nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg states.
