 Not my main point at all. Those are your words. There are many other reasons. Here is my post from yesterday with another couple of examples of why not having a delete event function is dangerous. There are many more examples.

The inability to delete posts on a platform like Nostr can have serious implications for personal safety, privacy, and overall well-being, particularly for vulnerable individuals or those in precarious situations.

 The inability to delete posts has two main implications — (1) censorship resistance; and (2) the need for care before posting. Just like the inability to reverse bitcoin transactions has implications for care and op sec in using that protocol. 

I understand there are particular situations where we wish we could undo the “send” for both protocols (if you’re robbed, e.g.). But final settlement and inability to delete is a feature IMO, not a bug. 

Everything goes on your permanent record, and that’s okay.  Freedom means freedom, not freedom only if I didn’t say the wrong thing five years ago. 

Use freedom tech to re-negotiate on our terms, not those of the censor.

 I agree with this 100%, but it works because bullets can't be transmitted back up my Tor circuit :D
