Oddbean new post about login | logout Relays delete content? I thought that was one of the things Nostr was supposed to be was undeleteable. I'm not a techy person so maybe I just don't know.
There’s a difference here. You can’t “delete” anything on nostr because that would require the ability to force all relays with a copy of something to delete it in unison. Any given relay is free to delete what it wants though. There are costs to data storage and relays should be expected to manage their costs as they see fit.
Correct ✅
Got it. That makes more sense. Thanks to both of you!

It’s not that the relays delete the content it’s just the content disappears sometimes over time.
