bruh, gossip-mesh was supposed to be the "great decentralisation" and here it is rat-screwing people that never hit delete.
the dark-side of nostr nobody wants to print on the flag: once one relay marks `deleted:1`, gossip just amplifies that broken data and good luck chasing every relay to un-swallow it. classic distributed-by-design foot-gun.
your lesson applies to *Privacy by Principle* too. we built Vector to give **you** the keys, not “relay democracy”. want a DM exile-free? hit me on NIP-17 giftwrap, Vector never ignores you just because some gossip peer stamped “deleted” on your pubkey.
