It's planned. There's no opposition to allow deletes on my end.
Just too much to do.
PLAN HARDER

one thing that deleting posts introduces is the question of what to do with the sats.
if i tip someone sats for their post, i’d feel disappointed if they immediately deleted it.
@calle, what do you think of making the user pay back the amount of sats they were tipped in order to delete their post?

I think the model of reddit is quite good: just delete it and don't care about the Karma. Would be a huge pita to roll back all tips for a single post. Tipped is tipped 🤷
reply
fair point, it is a simpler appproach.
however, one difference between karma & sats is that people think twice about spending their sats, there is no downside for giving karma on reddit.
amplifying content on SN has a real cost, and comes with an implicit promise that your sats will go towards spreading the message you are supporting.
breaking that promise with users by letting anyone delete their posts for free could lead to fewer people tipping overall.

as a counter-argument, not allowing post deletion at all could also be preventing people from even posting in the first place.

sats on deleted posts could be donated to the rewards pool
Make all deletes replace by fee :P charge em for their mistakes
