when I first joined #nostr I thought that a delete feature would be good for a number of different reasons, but the more I use #nostr I realized how much it actually improves the user experience well holding people accountable

at this point id say the benefits of “no delete” outweigh the benefits of having the option

Same. I implemented it in damus web. I think it was a mistake.

How about calling it “Request deletion” instead of just “Delete”?

I remember seeing such an option in Amethyst if I am not wrong.

Thus wording makes it clear that we are only requesting and nothing more. However, like you said, the decision on whether to hide or not from client once such a request is given, is a tricky issue.

Anything really. “Attempt delete” 😂

“Hey, I see you’re trying to delete this. It may or may not work. We’ll let the relays know but we have no way of making them do anything”

“We’ll visually hide this but just so you know it’s still out there on the relays”
