What does it mean to have a social network where you can't delete anything?

I don't think we have quite grasped the implications yet

Being able to truly control and revoke access to your data is the ultimate dream. But without being anonymous, how can you stay private or make ppl forget something they've already seen and maybe made a copy of?

Agree that there's no way to stay private.

But there's a material difference between a deleted tweet seen by a few dozen people vs. a cryptographically signed cast indexed forever & accessible to anyone via an API

When Twitter API was open, your deleted tweet was picked up by a lot more than a few dozen people. Cryptographically signed is only an issue if you have attached your wallet to your real world identity.

That’s an ever bigger issue atm, worrying about the grip web2 giants have on our data. Try getting them to delete everything they have on you. 

With the second point, I agree that cryptographically signed messages have benefits like proving it came from a human instead of bot. But which human?

Yea but no major web2 social network has open API anymore. And crypto signing can at least prove that the message comes from the account (vs generated by AI)
