Oddbean new post about login | logout Yeah really we should update the delete service to use the blastr relay: https://github.com/MutinyWallet/blastr
yeah that makes sense push faster
Last year i made a quip on nostr that was in poor taste, I thought it was funny but it offended some people who I respect. So I apologized and deleted it, but I had to use blastr to get the delete event out there because my original note had been blasted out by other people. If I hadn’t been able to delete the original note then people would find it long after and they probably wouldn’t see the retraction or apology.
I kinda like the idea of deleting tbh. But the other side of the argument is: in your case there is the argument that you could have just replied to your own post with the apology, making it a thread. People would be able to see the "offense" as well as the apology and judge for themselves if it is warranted or not. Where if you had deleted it, people who didn't see the original would only see your apology and have to take your word instead of judging for themselves. But again, I see how prospect users can be turned off by it.
