I respect @jack’s desire for authenticity but we need delete for doxxing, CSAM, and revenge porn. It’s the ugly reality of the human world we live in. I know we can’t make perfect delete on Nostr, or any other social network or internet project for that matter, but we can do pretty good and we need to.
Discussion
Agreed. Not to mention some people just love things to be tidy, neat and perfect. Nostr should be a big tent that accomodates the needs and desires of everyone. If you don’t want to use delete or edit - don’t use it!
Plus, we want to make sure people can make it clear what they mean when they say they “helped their their uncle #[4] off a horse”. 😕🤭
Or another way to look at it is it’s a bit like the discussion of same sex marriage. If you’re opposed to same sex marriage - don’t marry someone of the same sex. Problem solved. Doesn’t mean others shouldn’t be able to do it.
