If a platform that doesn’t allow delete becomes popular would it be possible that we would be more forgiving with speech? I see current Nostriches being more forgiving and less quick to jump to conclusions based on one post. A tendency to ask for clarification rather than to race to judgement. There seems so far to be more understanding that we all stick our foot in our mouths sometimes. Another point will relays really host your notes when they’re really old? Or will they prioritize newer posts? Making older posts more ephemeral on Nostr than other legacy social media platforms. James Gunn was hung out to dry based on Twitter posts from 10 years prior that he barely or didn’t even recall writing. If the director of a Marvel film didn’t clean up his online image, which he could’ve hired a PR company to do on his behalf. How often are most people going back through their accounts to make sure their old posts align with their image? Do we want to feed into the feeling and need to have a curated image?

of course deletes are censorship. in both the programming sense that your are rewriting historical code and in the sense that it silences others who were subjected to unfair treatment because of fashionable adherence to the whim of protocol in the moment. delete is absolutely censorship on every level of the conversation.
