Looking for feedback on this PR to update the terminology on NIP-09 - “Event Deletions”. I’m proposing we call it “Event Retractions” instead when we actually mean “request for deletion”. Let’s reserve “delete” for when we actually mean physically deleting an event from a specific client or relay. There’s too much confusion stemming from overloading the term. Not all clients or relays need to support retractions, but the protocol describes how one could support it, so let’s use the correct words that explain it properly.
