I have no emotion about it one way or another. I see logic in all the arguments. I’m just trying to determine for myself if the overall misplaced weirdness in these conversations is driven by ego and immaturity, with a dash of Twitter style toxicity habit, or if there are some underlying motives. I think you’re all great. 🤷

If its not retroactive, then network participants have already received it. What they choose to do with that data is totally beyond your control. You can ask that they forget your secret. If there's a small enough population that received the plaintext (ideally one, as in a DM), then you have a chance, but no certainty, no matter what we do.

I think so, too. I've followed @ava since about the first day I joined Nostr, and her posts are very informative. But this particular issue attracts too much wishful thinking and not enough information theory.
