I could write a bot that listens to all your posts and writes them to a relay that doesn’t delete anything . People will do this with archiving bots eventually. The only delete that will ever work is one that doesn’t send the note in the first place (delayed send)

For Gods sake, don’t create this bot. Let us hide our awkwardness #[8] 😂
At most I may consider “request delete” with no hiding in the UI, as that will be a more honest version of the delete function.
Both of the notes referenced above have been disappeared from my client. Maybe it's a UI trick. I have not explored the system very deeply.
Yeah you "could" cause delete to fail by backing up other ppls notes but IMO this is not a reason to not implement the feature. People want the option to submit a delete request. It might or might not work, such is the nature of a decentralized system. 🤷
It's better to have the functionality with the notification that it might not be respected/work than not have it.
