Nostr Web Client

I am now a strong advocate that all free relays should delete all non-metadata content (not kind 0, 3 and 10002) after 90 days.

Most users not only seem fine with it but don't really care about saving their notes at all. They are here for the moment and not to build a database of posts they can look back on. Those who are here to build content are already paying for relays.

Then all free relays should offer a paid option that simply keeps all posts for as long as the user pays. Relays can use the NOTIFY spec to warn users they are about to delete some of their stuff.

Agreed. Users of free relays could repost notes they want to restart the timer for.

I think without the ability to do that you’d see a lot of people copy an old post they want to keep up and paste it into a new post, which is annoying UX.

Also, other npubs reposting your note (finding value in it) would keep it alive in the network. Or am I mistaken about the repost mechanism?
