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.

That’s a VERY good idea right there! 👆

been thinking about this for months/years with Twitter - a nice solution would be for clients to indicate an edit took place with a % number inside that icon saying how MUCH was edited :D

now you know how scary this thing can get!! :D

Unless editing becomes the standard - it will be a whole topic... i mean editing 5% of characters - OK

"editing" an entire message to mean something else is more dubious. Perhaps readers should vote whether to accept or deny an edit! :D

definitely *

:D

Just because it’s not possible to be sure something got deleted, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be designing systems that are immutable. Users should be able to request their own content be deleted, either with a new message, or setting the expiration. Well behaved relays should respect that, and actually delete instead of just leaving it up to the client which might only get a partial feed and miss the delete message.

There will DEFINATELY be relays and bots which craw the network and archive things. But in the normal flow of the app, most users, will stop seeing and hosting content the original poster wanted to remove. It will take it out of normal circulation on the nostrverse and while not perfect, is important.

💯

in a post truth world filled with fake news, the simple fact that all nostr posts are signed by a corresponding private key is an absolute game changer

You can't call it delete if somebody can keep a copy of it.

It's just misleading UI. Not cool.

I am writing a public article that is partially about Nostr.

What are some easy-to-miss Nostr details that would be worth mentioning? Audience will be a mix of bitcoiners and general macro/investing audience. Mostly I sm writing for the latter- people who may not have heard about it yet.

I already included a Nostr section in my latest private research report, and included a slide about Nostr in a guest lecture at Princeton last week. I am spinning up my research on it over time, with public articles and broader reach being the next phase.
