Nostr Web Client

That's a little different. No harm is done, if a relay and/or client doesn't respect your mute list. You can just stop using it and go on with your life.

However if you rely on a note being deleted and it isn't, it can potentially cause tremendous damage. In most cases it won't cause any damage or if any, only minor, but making an integral feature that promises [thing], which cannot be reliably satisfied in a trustless manner is potentially dangerous.

Yes, that is correct, however notes are not advertised as deletable. Some may expect they would be, but it's not their key feature. With stories it is their key feature.

Being pedantic, that a story is only something that must somehow self-destruct from all relays after 24 hours, then nostr is not the place for it, unless you write to a private relay you control and delete it yourself, and even then, I imagine it can be broadcast to other relays once seen.

I'm suggesting a different approach, that stories are a set of notes that you are pinning to your profile with a replaceable event, like a mute or relay list. Not the same, but similar.

A pinned note, sure, why not, but that's not a Story. I have nothing against pinned notes.
