If you are a prolific poster, how do you keep from perma-spamming everyone's relays with your mental spewings? 1. Use expiring notes. 2. Mass-delete notes, periodically (leaving the same number of deletion-events). 3. Issue a kind 62 event, to delete everything-until-today, so that they only need to save one event. 4. Move to a new npub, take the interesting articles and stuff to the new one, by copying the content, and then nuking the old one and hoping they eventually let its events drop off their relay due to dormancy? 5. Something I haven't thought of. 6. Fuck relay operators. Save everything, everywhere, forever.

(7) post chat messages in a chat, target your posts to relays (ideally topical/community) that care about them. For any other relays that choose to store your stuff, that's their responsibility.
Then for now (6). No mercy for the bars where the beer is free, all the time.
Same. Wish they all offered that. I think Ditto has it.
#4? Doesn't seem to work because they store everything forever. It wouldn't surprise me, to find out that some of the forever-storage relays are run by the NSA or the IRS, or something. Seems like the sort of thing a fed would do, to collect incriminating evidence of breaking laws that haven't been written yet.
Ah, that's very efficient. I should add that to the list. Also need to add "relay operator shuts off relay and formats his hard drive".
😅 But seriously, I sometimes wonder about those people who are like, "It's really important to me that I have a permanent public record of everything I've ever written down". Like, these are not real humans, are they?
Me in 30 years: "It was a bad week, okay? Anyone could have a bad week."

Yeah, but it's mostly a cultural effect. They do it because that's "how you do it".
Yeah, but the same applies to every npub. It's not like in real life, where you can change the group you're talking to, or people eventually forget what you said, and you can move on. That's why they all only want to use it totally anon, usually with nothing but single-use npubs. There is no real market for that, tho.
