tldr; not being able to delete our content means we must think and consider properly how we express ourselves to the world

One of the things that stops me from using Nostr on a daily basis is the fact that I can't really exercise my silence at will. Free speech should also come with free silence as well. YakiHonne is good, though, and I can edit and delete at will. So even if it seems like an oxymoron, Nostr does not work properly for free speech, but YakiHonne does!

It seems that a Blockchain based social network or publishing platform goes also against the principle of free speech/free silence. The only workaround to this immutability that I can think of is: Plan ahead and really curate your content so you publish things on Nostr that would be approved by you as an author and your followers as your audience. Maybe this protocol and the way it works helps teach users how to express themselves properly and also boosts thinking and rethinking what a user is going to share. This also has a good side. It means accountability and responsibility of expression, and it means that users shall return to 'cogito ergo sum', instead of throwing whatever comes to mind first.
