Oddbean new post about login | logout Press delete 6 times and then restart 🤣
The deletion option on Nostr is an illusion; relays can keep copies of your notes, or some relays can simply refuse to delete. Overall, nothing truly gets deleted on nostr, but that's also true with traditional internet tho. People can simply screenshot or use some kind of archive site. 🤔

I'm less black and white about it now. @ferret reminded me of a potential accidental image self dox. Thankfully I was able to get it removed from imgur for that. Even if it is difficult, if not impossible to guarantee deletion across multiple relays - I'm okay with that illusion of deleting egregious typos and attempting to replace with a better version. Also, I've heard a rumor that lots of dm's can slow/crash a client (Amethyst in particular), so deleting to remove them is also something I'm okay with just to improve client stability. This is definitely a practice I engage with because I occasionally self DM to check if my note renders correctly. Again though, for me its not so black and white and I understand both sides.

Thats a bad ass meme! I haven’t seen or heard from her in a long long time.
Some people just vanish. It’s bizarre.
This is why I'm so picky about who stores my data
This just helps me affirm my reluctance to post a selfie. Mock me all you want, but I can't help but find something invasive about it. If you're comfortable with it, that's fine. Your decision. Any relays in particular that, maybe, we should avoid?
I would love to get an answer to this question from some of nostr's top developers. We all know a bad actor won't tell us to stop using their relay. 🙄
