That does bring up a good point, it's hard to 'see' a delete event in most clients, and it probably does need to be broadcast more widely than most events.

Not sure if you’ve seen this. I wrote it recently for a bounty.

The GitHub version has a couple extra features to load your relays. https://github.com/blakejakopovic/nostr_delete
Yep. Shared it somewhere in this thread.
It has the mutiny blaster relay in the default list. In practise I’ve found it doesn’t reach 300 relays.. it’s closer to 30-40. Maybe rate limiting, ip blocks, dead relays, not sure specifics.

Also. From around 80-90 relays being aggregated, here is which relays at least saw your deletion event.
Nostr graph is super helpful. I like the way it gives me the files via a DM after confirmation.
Thanks. It’s a few months old now, before browser extensions and relay AUTH.
I chose the chatbot approach to prevent DDOS, and downloading others people’s events - mostly DMs and deleted events. It works well, and is backed by my event driven backend - so adding more bots is easy.
