10 sats \ 4 replies \ @gandlaf21 13 Jan 2023 \ parent \ on: Stacker News: Why can't I delete my own posts? Please let us delete posts! bitcoin
The way I see it, if a post stacked sats, that means the content was valued by someone. By removing the content you're essentially removing the value it produced. On this conjecture, The optimal way would be to give the sats back to where they came from. This is probably a bit tricky to implement, so the next best move is to give the sats back to the community.
Yeah, so he needs to send them back if he wants to remove.
It's iust my opinion though
Absolutely not
Default convention is the zapped money is sent and done with.
Simply don’t allow people to delete their post if someone zapped it. If your content has never been zapped then sure, allow the user to delete.

I don't think the conjecture is correct. The content provided value to a person that read it. They rewarded the author with sats for this value. When the post is now removed, the value transfer already happened... The reader already got their value from the post.
So it doesn't sound like returning the sats is a right approach.

I for one won't care strongly if someone deletes a post I tipped. I also would like the freedom to delete posts and keep my tips.

Ahh I see what you mean. That is a good way to do it. Would increase friction against people deleting for the sake of it. And would also encourage hopefully better content to start with.
