🤷🏻‍♂️ nostr is a bare platform, and that leads to sharp edges. the same mechanism that prevents censorship also prevents you from "censoring" yourself. sure, the big players like primal / amethyst / damus support editing and "deletion" (more accurately retraction). but nostr is closer to bitcoin than twitter. does bitcoin allow you to undo a transaction? seems like a silly question, but it's similar to what you're asking. a direct consequence of identity through keypairs is that you can never disavow something that you've signed. i've proposed a two tiered signing scheme that would efficiently allow you to use a new key for every post, opening the possibility of claiming that a specific key was lost. no one seems to like it, even though i think it's both elegant and efficient. so some of those sharp edges come from decisions that developers have made. but i still think that "only the signing key should submit an event" borders on silly. only the relay can ever really know who submitted an event, and you'd have to get most relays onboard with this for it to be effective. still you have the problem of local / caching / bespoke relays ... are they also expected to play along? maybe these realities make it too difficult for normies? but much of these problems exists everywhere - you're just not thinking about it. i dunno. i like the honesty of permissionless, even if it's prickly

Good one :PepeLaugh:
