ephemerals are not stored.

i don't see why you would want to store them, it contradicts the specification.

orly also actually deletes everything when it gets replaced or is deleted, and it refuses to re-save events that have a delete reference to them (delete by e tag, not a tag).

not implementing actual delete and actual replace clutters up the relay implementation with a lot of unnecessary shit. just delete it bellcurve.jpg

also, yeah, not storing ephemerals, IMO, is one of the whole points of nostr

- post office protocol (message database with optional auth requirement)

- publish-subscribe protocol (when new events are published interested parties can instantly get them)

- rendezvous protocol (ephemeral events make nostr able to implement rendezvous, which is critical to all privacy applications)
