 I know I can't delete my notes but can I delete my drafts lol #asknostr 
 Yes, in Amethyst go to drafts and click delete all.  
 So they're local only? 
 I'm not sure 
 Not in Amethyst. Drafts are published, just not as Kind 1. 
 Thanks, that's helpful. I like your idea of having the option 
 I suspect the people on the Fediverse haven’t figured out yet that the notes they delete there don’t go away on nostr because of the mostr bridge. they gonna be maaaad. 
 If they were published and need a deletion event to be rid of them, then no, you can't truly delete drafts either.

Wish Amethyst had a setting to turn drafts off.

Losing posts to crashes wasn't fun, I admit, and ppl complained until drafts were added - but posting half-finished draft thoughts is embarrassing, I'd actually like to have an option to turn it off.

 Drafts are encrypted and sent to your private relays. No one else sees them. It's like gmail drafts.  
 Yeah except with Gmail Google and it's whole world of advertisers and government agencies sed your drafts 🤣 
 If they've been sent to remote relays, probably not. Some relays don't honor delete requests.

On Android, I use Citrine as a local relay. Set Amethyst to use it as a local relay for drafts. This stops your drafts from being broadcast and Citrine will honor your delete requests.
