And let’s add the biggest one too, you can’t delete anything.

Did you put a lot of time into a post to make it formatted really beautifully for everyone on Nostr to see and then when you clicked on post, the image link wasn’t loading correctly? Nothing you can do but make a reply to your own post like “sorry guys the screenshot isn’t loading for some reason so I have to make this addendum post so you know what I’m talking about. Hopefully you scrolled down this far!”

Or what about the scenario:

“sorry guys for posting that long tutorial about how awesome nostr is four times, (and using up a lot of your data, battery life, etc) but the client I was using crashed after clicking post.”

Also:

“Hey guys the site to the link I posted back in 2024 was taken over by someone with bad intentions and now it contains known malware. I want to take personal responsibility because I shared it back then and at the time of writing there was no delete NIP so tell everyone to scroll to the bottom and read this message so they don’t get scammed!”

I love what you have to say when I watch videos with you in it. I’m curious about your thoughts on this and what can be done for the long term.

Hopefully this can inspire some productive discussion so we don’t end up in a situation where everyone is storing junk posts on their relays that contain typos, errors, etc. and people are like “yeah, I would love to take personal responsibility and clean up my posts, not to mention saving some harddrive space but I just can’t!”
