Oddbean new post about | logout
 I see it as more of a downgrade when I used to be able to delete things online but can’t now, and this is the future? Don’t get me wrong, I’m waiting patiently for nostr to implement this and I’ll be diving HEAD FIRST into making content on here. 

I’m glad I’m not the only one with this concern. And I’m not even in a country where the government retaliates against people for speaking up or speaking out. To anyone reading this that resides in one of those countries, this post is for you! 

There are MANY MANY innocent situations where deletion is necessary. Some outlined here: https://damus.io/note1l5pv64z294l9cc4jx6f92glrz3ymtc25glujy3dz9ceqc62at8asyw4gj2

My solution would be for us to have a feature like a button a user can press that can scrub their post and edit to say “post removed by user” like what I’ve seen people do during the Reddit exodus 
 Please don't like being forced to thing deeply, critically, and with a long-term mindset on the internet...THEY WANT THE GARBAGE PILE. They want to be able to create and roll around in the filth and then delete stuff so they can grandstand later lying that they were never even there.
