> some relays may not honor requests
This is a nightmare to work with when dealing with nostr wallets.
why?
Deleting old token events is important for accurately displaying mint balances and record keeping.
what happens if a relay initially accepts the request and deletes the note and then my relay sends it back to that relay? does it filter out that note forever or is that not how it works?
This is the most important thing happening on clients right now

Can you explain why it is an important "feature" ?
Since there's no guarantee, I feel like there's no point ?
when you “delete” anything on the internet there is no guarantee, nostr just makes it obvious
Because we are making it up as we go along. And the point of Nostr is that each implementation can make they own rules.
This is not a client implementation issue (it could be).
It's mainly a relay issue. Also the delete feature was in the protocol from the beginning.
"I've effectively deleted the note."
Is it ?
I kinda hope not a single relay complies. It's like deleting a "feature" of a note in the first place. If you don't want to take the highest responsibility for your note there is already an app for that, go join the xtwitter thingy ma do.
If they delete, at least you know they are human.
My firsts notes I believe are lost forever, probably relays went off or they got busy and had to clear space.
Many relays will honoured deletions because there are many good reasons to, others won't.
Im just curious, what would a good reason be? Im not being combative but my wee little brain often only registers my own views 😂
eh i don't know, I'm not even sure i'm human.
Excellent! I will never delete a note (public record), but many people will love this feature!
Is it the same thing as Amethyst has?
About fucking time, I find myself deleting notes, primarily because of spelling errors, and I notice them, and I'm like, oh my god, I can't unsee that now. And so I have to fix it.
As a chronic miss speller this is a game changer
Copy could be better. ‘Request’ over ‘command’ at the very least.
The best thing about using nostr compared to other social media and primal wants to change it.
Finally my grammar mistakes will be hidden from ridicule
I’m leaving mine up 😅
The cool part of nostr was that no one could delete notes. Everything you said was in stone. I loved that. I have bad feelings about this move.
Bad move
Now they need to add "edit" like Amethyst
Yes! Edit would be good
Politicians can now join NOSTR
