Nostr Web Client

you can delete stuff off your relay whenever you like guy.

you haven't given even a small justification for why nostr should be "forced" to have amnesia.

would be more useful to have people like you saying "relays should honor delete requests" but i think there's some memes you guys follow about "you can't stop people from spreading it around" lol. it's my fucking relay subscription. whether my relay subscriptions keep my data after i unsubscribe is entirely a business decision. a blanket rule delete over 2 years inactive accounts depends on whether your business policies require scrooging over a miserable few megabytes.

my own collection of events from the last year totals to about 100mb. lol.

actually, i think it's only about 20mb. i think one time i estimated how many words i write per day on average, something like 5-6000, at 6 characters (av. 5 plus a space per word).

i'd rather see people talking about specialist relays that just scrape and sync everything forever and charge for access to the archive. which can then be a value add for relay operators offerings.

Sure. That can also exist. Buy majority or relays have no business in storing things forever. Archival relays should be less than 1% of relays. Purging is good.

"good" is meaningless without a specification of the purpose.

... To get rid of inactive accounts

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 2mo ago

you mean deleting history

Vitor Pamplona 2mo ago

Yes. Nobody wants their stuff to stick around forever. If they lose their keys and cannot login anymore, there is no way to delete.

if they doxxed themselves that's hardly gonna be difficult to justify such a request to a relay operator.
