My first impressions of Nostr/Primal. I like the concept. But I can’t edit or delete my notes? Is this a Primal feature missing or a Nostr thing in general? Also preview image for links doesn’t work for my notes?
Feels very barebones. Missing some fundamental features such as polls. But not being able to delete my notes would be crazy if not possible? Please tell me this is not true.
@mikelundahl
it is possible in theory. I don't remember if primal does this. but you have draft, the polls haven't arrived on nostr yet, some apps have zap polls.
@mikelundahl I don’t have much experience with Primal. I mostly use Damus followed by Iris and Nos Social. But, at this current moment I do not believe editing posts is possible. You can delete them. Idk, seems possible you’re comparing nearly decade old Mastodon & ActivityPub to a young protocol like Nostr?
@damon yeah, so what I've learned is that there is support for deletion in the protocol, but its not enforced. So it’s up to the relayes to choose if they want to support it or not, which to me is very odd. So by default I should just assume that even if the client would support it, the chances are my post will stay somewhere. Just something I will have to get used to I guess.
@mikelundahl Editing is kind of harder in #nostr. Nostr is a broadcast-and-forget protocol. In #activitypub people request for messages from the server.
It's a push protocol vs a pull one. So there are trade-offs with each.
