primal added the ability to delete notes
some relays may not honor requests, but still an important feature
Discussion
YES ! and perhaps an "editing note" would be fine too (even if it is a packaged order DELETE+NEW note).
Thank you for this feature and improving #nostr clients
I prefer Editing
As long as we can see the whole history
It is not a git repository here. Space have a cost.
Deleting is a good feature.
Editing could be an interesting new feature too.
But if you really want to keep an history, just post a new note... not sure the history would be mass used, and it would cost a lot of space.
Editing a note in a REPLACE state is useful when you want to correct a mistake in it, nothing more.
Very important
Yes! 💪🏿
Not that useful as long as One relay didn’t comply 🤔
still useful, most relays honor them
they will comply, when they will get "unuseful notes" and unuseful disk space used.
And it is good to have this feature activated now in clients. It will force relay to manage it in time.
If, for a new feature, each (relays/clients) have to wait the other to implement it, no new features would be coded.
It is the decentralize way to code... showing the way.
Freedom to be forgotten
Welll that’s good for my drunk asss…
👏
🔥🔥🔥
what happens if a relay initially accepts the request and deletes the note and then my relay sends it back to that relay? does it filter out that note forever or is that not how it works?
Note deletion requests! This will be valuable!
Great work nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzn9kpsmllqnsf7wh5tz3wgy4cclsftqqplv8tpayrhwgw8llunevgnmdf3 team keeping up the momentum on new & desired features.
This is the most important thing happening on clients right now
Can you explain why it is an important "feature" ?
Since there's no guarantee, I feel like there's no point ?
when you “delete” anything on the internet there is no guarantee, nostr just makes it obvious
"I've effectively deleted the note."
Is it ?
I kinda hope not a single relay complies. It's like deleting a "feature" of a note in the first place. If you don't want to take the highest responsibility for your note there is already an app for that, go join the xtwitter thingy ma do.
My firsts notes I believe are lost forever, probably relays went off or they got busy and had to clear space.
Many relays will honoured deletions because there are many good reasons to, others won't.
Im just curious, what would a good reason be? Im not being combative but my wee little brain often only registers my own views 😂
Grammar, numerical errors, wrong archive uploads... and any human error (or even machine) we could do and would love to correct. If you can delete and repost the correct version it improves the experience overall:
- For the original poster: can keep it's feed clean.
- The client: improves the user experience. Also makes their business more law-ready, since some legislations consider the "Right to be forgotten" a thing, so they would comply with it.
- The relay: same as for the client, and they also avoid storing unnecessary duplicated data that costs money.
- The reader: avoids having to read notes that have errors, or successive notes clarifying the corrections.
At the end is more about de-indexing than actually deleting, because some relays could not honour the request, and that's great, but I believe most actors will benefit from it.
Excellent! I will never delete a note (public record), but many people will love this feature!
I mean, you can make grammar errors or any other error. It's more about errors that don't add value rather than trying to hide things you said in the past.
Is it the same thing as Amethyst has?
What's the point of making this cancellation request if some rele' don't cancel?
About fucking time, I find myself deleting notes, primarily because of spelling errors, and I notice them, and I'm like, oh my god, I can't unsee that now. And so I have to fix it.
It's more like a request. You can also just GFY.
As a chronic miss speller this is a game changer
Wow amethyst has had that for a while. I thought this was a standard option now.
Copy could be better. ‘Request’ over ‘command’ at the very least.
The best thing about using nostr compared to other social media and primal wants to change it.
The cool part of nostr was that no one could delete notes. Everything you said was in stone. I loved that. I have bad feelings about this move.
Bad move
