Makes sense - I've heard you use the term a few times but seems I misunderstood it. From a user perspective, it's also important that I'm not inadvertently relinquishing my data to third parties. Fo...

There's still more nuance in that, while a trusted homeserver is hosting you, part of your session rights do include deleting your own data.

There are also regulations in some countries that require hosts to meaningfully comply with delete requests from users.

In our app and homeserver you can edit and delete any of your data. But you can't necessarily delete other people's copies of your data, especially if they exist on other servers.

The important thing is keeping a copy of your data and your keys safe.

When you share data on a public network, you should consider that data permanently public imo.

The redundancy and censorship resistance is augmented by PKARR. (Public Key Addressable Resource Records). Your Pubky points towards one or multiple resource end-points. And since the PKDNS entry liv...

This is correct, and it does create a new paradigm where people can know for sure what you declare as your data, but I think you guys were cross-talking about use cases.

Digital-rights-management (the ability to enforce ownership rights like deletion) is actually an oxymoron, impossible.

nostr:npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh there is one interview of yours where you explain what rights really are, but I can't find it

Pubky uses 'homeservers'. Users control their private keys as well as their content. pubky.app

That doesn't give a user the ability to delete data on someone else's server though.

It gives them the ability to both self-host, or be hosted by a 3rd party without any meaningful risk.

Yes, they can delete data within their own homeserver, and they can be the source of truth on which data really represents them, but they cannot prevent people from serving old copies of data you shared with them.

That's a physical problem.

they don't "allow" problems to exist they are *designed* to perpetuate the problems nothing is "failing" - everything is working as intended you are just all idiots for judging systems by their stated intentions rather than observable performance

Haven't read it yet, but I'd better not see any claims it was obviously going to go down this way...

these are just random phrases, not a criticism you can throw exactly the same at any other technology or protocol without having to even know anything about them can you even describe nostr or how nostr believers think it will scale and provide censorship resistance?

Not to mention, isn't Nostr funding just as centralized around Dorsey?
