You do NOT own your content on #nostr. The relays do.

Unless you run your own relay

Even then is good to realize if you let other relays listen to yours, them you have lost complete control over what you transmit.

Its obvious to many... I know... But not sure all of us understand that there is very little privacy here. And no takebacks.

Nip-09 is completely toothless.

we own the keys that sign though

Run your own relay and publish your content to it. Problem solved

I do, in fact.

But if I Only published to my private relay then I'm just shouting into the void which actually has some very interesting purposes and use cases in my opinion. But if I want to interact in the public sphere then I have to trust other relays with my signed messages and some of these relays will archive them forever. Others may have different strategies than I prefer when it comes to things like delete requests, etc. So it's kind of a catch-22 in that regard as far as I can tell.

Ive been wanting to learn about this aspect of Nostr… so, if I go buy a replay, would it do?
