 The idea of not being able to edit your posts on Noster is fucking terrible.
Elitist assholes thought of it.

Just let people edit posts like they do on Fuck Zuck book. Let people see the edits.

People should be able to correct mistakes.

 
 NOSTR.

SEE WHAT I MEAN, JERKS!
FUCK! LOL 
 Lol Think before you post or take the backlash 
 Does backlash make you feel better or like more of a man?
Just curious loler. 
 It can get unhealthy and we've seen that on Twitter when it becomes a witch hunt, but I get a lot of critical opinions on my content and takes, and I appreciate it sometimes it knocks my ego, but for the most part when i get over it, it gets me to think differently and I learn from it

Sometimes the delivery needs to be a little harsh 
 It only needs to be harsh if you get your nuts off by giving people shit. 
 Lol yeah or you're kink is being bashed, I try not to kink shame 
 Typical 
 To guarantee that the post is edited, some central authority would have to force all participating relays to submit to the request for edit. Proof-reading is part of the cost of freedom in this situation. 
 Run your own relay and edit the notes it saves if you care that much. 

But you can’t force all the relays to edit them too. 

If you care about mistakes, proof read your posts before you send them out into the world for other relays to read and store. 
 My point is you should not have to edit an entire fucking relay to edit one post.
There must be a way to do this. 
 Why would there be? And that for a sex worker like you, mom? 
 When you send a post, it goes to a relay for storage and delivery. You don’t have to edit the relay, you have to get a relay to edit the data. If you own your relay, trivial. 

If you rely on someone else’s relay, now it’s negotiation time. 

If you’d rather use some centralized service and just ask mark zuckerberg to do it, then that’s fine too. 

Once you mail a letter, you can’t edit it. Proof read before posting. 
 So delete requests on Amethyst require a coder to edit the entire relay?
There has to be someone smart enough to allow simple edits. Can a bot do it?
Some people have severe ADD and type or even think to fast to type.
That does not make them dumb or worthy of ridicule. 
 Blockchained, ain’t it? 
 immutable and useful. 
 Is @Weatherall in trouble? 
 No one said anyone was dumb. I simply stated that if one cares about their mistakes, they should proof read before posting, as one would do with a letter in the mail. 

Once it’s posted, it’s out of your hands. 
 It is a feature of a cryptographic functions that you can not alter the original input. If you change even a character, it would result a totally different digital fingerprint. 
You need to accept this if you want decentralized things. 
 Bullshit.
There has to be a way. 
 I don’t know mom. Quite certain there is make up to look pretty in the mirror, but with a dirty mirror, all the make up in the world won’t matter. 
 😂 
 Fuck Zuck Book, am I right lol 
 edit is an illusion. Its a product of surveillance tech. This is freedom tech

Accept the flaws and embrace the differences. 
 they can’t delete them and replace? How does a relay like creatr have that capability if it’s impossible? That is effectively an edit. 
 So yes, you can edit notes if you own your own relay, by deleting the data and backdating a replacement… 
 That makes sense.
I guess I'm deleting a lot then.
I appreciate the info here.
There is a lot I do not understand.

I see a lot of smart minds on NOSTR. Someone can figure it out. 
 On Amethyst it does not double post unless someone comments.
