One thing that I'm still feeling uncomfortable about when posting on Nostr is the permanence of the notes. Even with something small like a typo, it's weird knowing there's nothing that can be done about it unless somehow every single relay where your note was replicated to honored the delete/edit ( I think this is a technically correct statement, but let me know if not).
Really, this just makes me curious about the psychological aspects of where this feeling stems from and the significance of it. I am still unsure of whether I actually miss the feature, or I am just feeling the effects of realigning my mental framework.
Looks like there's actually ongoing discussion and debate on this, just judging from some quick Googling: https://nos.social/blog/on-deleting-and-editing-notes
Anyway, just some thoughts that I'm processing after being on here for a few days now. Interested to hear others commentary and thoughts on it, if you were confronted by the same observation.
