 I don't see it on Amethyst, Snort, Nostrudel, or Primal. What client are you using? 
 Amethyst  
 What relay has it? I don't see it. It won't load.

Share it. It is still on njump. Njump also shows the relays it's on. 
 If I visit Nostr.band it doesn't show up there either for me in search, but njump.me says it exists there. I can't search for it though. 
 My guess is relays actually do respect and delete the event, but njump does not.  
 But then it shouldn't show for some people on Amethyst so it must be somewhere still. Maybe some other relay that collects from these relays before deletion 😐 
 Yea it’s theoretically impossible to delete anyways 
 It's going to most likely exist somewhere, but you can get things 99% deleted, which means you can't delete because people could always just rebroadcast the note again from the one place it exists. For the most part, that won't happen, unless you make bold claims that you can delete something. Then everyone will rebroadcast it 🤣 
 Haha yea you can lower the amount of people that will see it naturally but if someone wants to find it they will 
 Relays that received your delete request won't save rebroadcasted event  
 Oh. That's good to know. Thanks. 
 i checked and none of the relays that they mention still has it, i'd guess njump have it cached locally (and so have the users that still see it in some client) 
 This has happened before with njump caching content, so that makes sense. 
 I'm seeing it on amethyst too 
 This is what I see. https://i.nostr.build/qbDhVOJPsGsfXaIt.jpg 
 I can read it in your quoted note, open and in the feed, but it won't load to when opening  that specific note to show the relay icons  
 Maybe you're seeing cache then? Dunno. 
 Looking on that njump link, I am hooked up with band & nowhere, so that's probably it 
 try nostr.at/ncode1a2b3c... ;) 
 Njump fork? 
 Sí. Thanks @aljaz 🤙  
 I can also see the quote post on Amethyst, but if I tap on the original note or search for the note ID, it can't be found. 
 How it displays in the feed:

 That's really odd. And I'm confused. 
 If I recall correctly a user can essentially "undelete" a note if they overwrite it with the exact content. My initial thought is that maybe the repost has done this in some way in order to recall the quote post. I'm sure someone will chime in with more details. 
 What relay is it on? 
 i cant load it  
 Nah doesn’t load let’s see if the other one also “deletes” like this one 
 I copied the Note ID, pasted the link (without (nostr:) on delete.nostr.com app confirmed via nsec.app reloaded my timeline both on Amethyst and Primal and voilá - NOTE DELETED. 
 Derek if you have more useful apps which work with nsec.app authorization please share a list with us (please include nostr website app) I complete lost that note/link because I didn't bookmark it. Need to use that bookmark button more often.  
 I don't see it 
 No. I can't see the note.  
 What the hell is going on? Suddenly the note appeared out of nowhere. I didn’t change anything about my relay setup. 
 Can u send me the note id i wanna look it up on nostr.band 
 Yes, here it is:

nostr:note192w58wm5zck35gw66ve26s00fujtkxul95rz2uzfta64xf5q2xdsxzye5u 
 Haha I’ll just copy it from the note text https://image.nostr.build/5ddd9fd6beea7acc041cc8edf8eae2db66372c5894851d5cc8980c470ead1d83.jpg  
 192w58wm5zck35gw66ve26s00fujtkxul95rz2uzfta64xf5q2xdsxzye5u 
 Me too

10 minutes ago it wouldn't load, now I see it

because #nostr 
 People are possibly broadcasting it to new relays 🤣 
 But why can I see the note on Damus but not in Amethyst? 
 Damus is probably saving it in the local cache / local NostrDB  
 On Primal:

We can't seem to find this note.

It may have been deleted by the author. 
 The client doesn’t matter it’s your relay setup 
 That may be but Primal is the only client that gives me a user friendly response confirming it is indeed gone of the desktop clients I use and tried. 

Coracle and Wherostr just shows a spinning box, noStrudel gives me the event ID and other clients to try, etc. 
 
 I can see it... 
 ... in Amethyst, but when clicking on the note, it doesn't load. 
 Don't see it on Amethyst but I can see it using Njump. 
 No 
 Not on Amethyst with my WoT relays. 

I can see it on njump & is seen on:

wss://relay.noswhere.comwss://relay.damus.iowss://nos.lolwss://relay.nostr.bandwss://nostr-verified.wellorder.net 
 Yes. 
 The deletion seems to work for me, can't see it. I understand that it's relay-dependent and that technically the internet never forgets anything (with certainty), but it's basic UI wisdom to always offer the user the ability to undo things.

I accidentally reposted one of my own posts in Primal just after posting it. Not a biggie but I didn't like it as that can come across as spammy... can't unpress that button 😞  
 I can see it
