Hot take. 🌶️
Some of you aren’t ready to hear this, but Nostr in its current state doesn’t have a hope of scaling to millions of users until content can be removed as easily as it can be posted.
This means:
– All clients offer a delete option that permanently hides a note that a user requested to delete, even from other clients
– All note types are editable to allow users to fix tags and typos
– Users can un-like and un-repost content if they change their mind
– Account deletion allows for all content posted by a user to be purged
Maybe some or all these things are possible, maybe not.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
