true deletes will never be possible because the concept doesn't really make sense here

I recently joined just the other day and I think you make good points, except for the deletion part. I think the reason why people feel like deletion is necessary is from decades of using the other social media. Deletion on social media is almost like an indirect form of censorship. Nostr right now is a verifiable public record. Being able to delete something from a public record alters that history and can remove accountability for what was written. It also allows people to selectively curate their online presence, which is a huge and super fucking annoying issue with every other platform. Doing that can be something that contributes to controlling a specific narrative. By sticking with this system where if you posted it, it can be attributed to you via your key pair, then we maintain full accountability for all things written at all times and nobody can escape it, no matter how uncomfortable it might make them. A better solution could possibly be allowing edits, and then the edits are chained together to where the edit history is fully maintained and viewable at all times. This is something I kinda want just because I hate making dumb typos 😄

I think you make some good points. I have a few comments: -Bitcoiners are kind of a seed for content here, but I agree with you that it's a lot. That's part of the reason I post random shit about Egypt and other random stuff over the past year and a half. A new social ecosystem requires some diehard people, but also needs certain roots for broader involvement. -The inability to delete is a feature, not a bug. Once you sign a note, it's out in distributed relays. However, incentive-wise, I think high-accessible perpetual notes will rely on some form of economics or payment. Over the long term of time it will likely be unseen or outright deleted if a small account posts something they don't particularly endorse anymore. -I think zaps will be an onboarding tool for bitcoin. Existing bitcoiners will be like "yeah I know what those are" but new coiners will be like, "wait what are these?" and it'll be a learning experience. It's a friction point, but potentially a good one. Also, some Lightning/Ecash wallets can be dollar-denominated. -I think key management is probably the hardest long-term part. Even for power-users let alone newbies. Because with power-users we might understand it better, but also our stakes for fucking it up are higher.

The majority of content on here is Bitcoin-related because the builders of this protocol and the clients running on top of it are Bitcoiners. However, don't forget that Bitcoiners are just regular people. They have other interests and hobbies, apart from #Bitcoin and will interact with other kinds of content, be it sports, travel, photography, food, etc. Like @Lyn Alden said, she posts stuff about other things than #Bitcoin and so do many other Bitcoiners. You just need to curate your feed and tell others about #Nostr. I had my girlfriend join, because she's an artist and likes to take city photos, and she was surprised how quickly her posts received not just likes, but zaps. People will get hooked, when they realise their content can be monetized without permission from anyone. Not saying people will replace their jobs, but it's better than what they get now on the cancerous social media platforms available. Just my 2 sats...
