PSA: If your relay does not support NIP-09 (event deletion), I am removing it NOW.

NIP-09 respects the fact that privacy-conscious folks may not want everything they post on Nostr to be archived on a permanent record.

Did we not learn anything from Snowden?

In garnet and Amethyst, go to your relays and tap on the name to see the NIPs each relay supports.

The ability to delete events is not just about "not owning up to past comments"; it also respects the fact that among many potential issues (including malicious relays), people may accidentally doxx themselves and want that post removed. This can be especially dangerous for women who are dealing with stalkers or abusive exes, etc.

Using relays that do not respect users' requests to delete events poses significant privacy and potential safety issues, and I will not continue to support the reluctance of relay runners to adopt and honor NIP-09 event deletion requests.

What if I run a relay that does not delete and anyone can still see all your notes?

But for Ava concerns about privacy/safety and have notes deleted on Nostr, it's either possible or it's not, and it's not, it's just a best try effort, there is no guarantee, all your favorite relays can delete but others won't and anyone can still see it.
