Assuming the power or internet is never shut off, as in Ethiopia rn. Then you can't use it to buy a banana.
Is it linking to an Iris formatted URL?
Hey Bryan, I'm here in spite of the Bitcoin ads :p. Full stack developer and server admin with zero esteem for grand unified, eternal, immutable, public surveillance chains.
I think the move is away from the grand unified surveillance chain, but gl with that creaky tech.

Pro tip: Nobody knows which app you're using.
Yes, but since delete requests are in the very baseline of spec I wouldn't call relays who willfully ignore it "Nostr relays", by definition, any more than if they broke protocol with a different JSON blob.
I guess all we can do is name, shame and avoid them.
Helps to mention your client app, there are many
Technically no, but technically most people who *need* to delete are being harassed by a gang or stalked by an ex or extorted by local popos in a small country w/o the sort of visibility you're talking about.
The need to pull your content out of just popular circulation in those instances can be lifesaving. I've had to do it twice.
There's a decent explanation of your options at https://nostr.how
Memes will only ever be centrally hosted due to constraints on the relays.
Its about putting your financial future on the same public ledger as everyone else's.
In a decentralized system, there is no system-wide data visibility, no single authoritative version of all the data. That there is means the data is centralized. My condom purchase in Thailand is logged next to your beer purchase in Australia in a blockchain, even stored on the same nodes. Blockchain literally is a centralized database served up over an ad-hoc content distribution network (CDN). Distributed, not decentralized.
Nostr is actually decentralized, there is no authoritative version of all the data, and will get more so. But that literally means there is no global view. Nostr is centralized to the degree the global view is all encompassing.
Yep, this is where you learn blockchain enthusiasts fucking hate decentralization. They protest at every hint of it.
They love massively distributed, centralized databases.
Distributed, with one 'authoritative' version of 'all' the data. Like Facebook with thei rCDN (content distribution network), not at all like Nostr with actual decentralization of data streams.
Distribution is not decentralization. Blockchains are distributed, not decentralized. Nostr is actually decentralized, and blockheads like @npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj nudge everybody to behave like it's not.
Americans reinvented a few sports to create the illusion of a national identity. They took girls sports mostly. Rounders for boys is baseball. Netball for boys, basketball. American Handball as far as I can tell is rugby for girls.
We humans are meddling creatures. Measurement gives the illusion of certainty. With what we measure, we meddle. "Always better" invokes a certainty blockchain will teach you to regret. Where your every Satoshi has a unique non-fungible history. What a grand idea, cos more measurability is always better.
If it weren't from the same characters, you think every sat would have an eternal immutable history in the same database?
Of course, traceability is the name of the game
