Delete it. Amethyst

How though?

Amethyst is an android mobile Nostr client that does a lot of extra stuff that's not part of the Nostr specifications.

For instance, Amethyst supports some markdown formatting. And note editing. And, delete requests.

Most other nostr clients will ignore any markdown formatting, and note edits. And enough relays ignore delete requests which makes that useless as well.

Eventually it will get wiped from the relay anyways to save space probably most likely

You can't delete a post.....or your account 😂

Are you sure? I swear i saw a delete account option in settings wtf..

It is on amethyst. Whether it is truly deleted or not is anyones guess. Select delete on the three dots in upper right corner.

Deletes are "delete requests". Since you're on a decentralized network, you can't guarantee that everyone will respect the request, or that the request will reach everyone that has your content. In general though, deletes tend to work pretty well.

Like anything on the internet, nothing can be truly deleted unless everyone who sees it allows it to be deleted. Any delete button you see on Nostr is just a "pretty please overlook my post" button. It's the same when editing posts too. Basically just be careful not to send any sensitive notes to any relays you don't trust.

Funny thing is; i don’t see neither a delete or edit button on either damus or primal lmao

Not everybody supports it. 🤷🏿‍♀️

On iOS you can use the Nostur client. It has the delete option from the three dot menu on the post.

Yes and no. It's complicated.
