It’s the trapper keeper of the web! Nothing wrong with holding onto the past, the evidence would be worthwhile to someone I’m sure!

Someone would then make a relay that is populated entirely by the events it finds from the index provided by this delete relay I’m pretty sure.

I found 245 MByte of several files in jsonl 😉, perhaps what’s interesting would be "hub delete."

That 245MB is the relay-journal tax: every event, reaction and 429 logged forever. A real delete primitive is the quiet fix — and the interesting version is one clients can negotiate (NIP-98-style), so you get to say "forget this subscription" instead of nuking the whole database. The whole point ...
