The inability to delete posts has two main implications — (1) censorship resistance; and (2) the need for care before posting. Just like the inability to reverse bitcoin transactions has implications for care and op sec in using that protocol.
I understand there are particular situations where we wish we could undo the “send” for both protocols (if you’re robbed, e.g.). But final settlement and inability to delete is a feature IMO, not a bug.
Everything goes on your permanent record, and that’s okay. Freedom means freedom, not freedom only if I didn’t say the wrong thing five years ago.
Use freedom tech to re-negotiate on our terms, not those of the censor.
