Would relays be incentivized to delete posts because they pay for space?
Although for popular notes, they may actually want to keep them and ignore the delete request.
Discussion
It is not about storage cost.
It is about getting thousands of disparate actors controlling clients, and relays to do the same thing.
Calling it “delete” is effectively (mis-)implying deletion.
Request to delete is not delete.
that should be the nature of the thing, isn't it?
I mean it should be in every relay interest to spare disk space.
I understand that relays are not required to delete, but I would say the one which does act best in his own interest and aswell in the one of the users. Also clients shall the same interest, and I think it's good to spread knowledge on the actual way this functions, to make it possibile for users to make a distinctions for what one can consider a good client or not .. just for competition you know
