I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying the information also exists somewhere other than IPFS?
It is (allegedly) only stored on IPFS. Anything uploaded to IPFS will always be there. The difference is whether or not you share the decryption key for the given content / file. Since our peeps are meant to be public, the decryption key is shared for all, otherwise it won't work

Sure, but if it were encrypted inside of there and I'm the one with the key, it might as well be deleted. Right?
Well, when we send our peep, it is already stored and readable (not encrypted or decryptable by everyone). And since ledger is immutable so...

Is there something technical that would stop us from owning the IPFS key somehow? Then there could be an option to restrict access to the older version and only show the new ones. Plus we'd actually own our own data. And could potentially turn it all off some day.
AFAIK data that are already stored on IPFS are forever there. You can delete it from personal node, but will still exist on others' node.

No edits :) What's said, it's said. Blockchain rules :)
Edit feature should still be possible to be coded to the smart contract, although the previous historical data will still be stored in the ledger (similar to how wayback machine works)
Thoughts regarding important figures' username sniping? The link to twitter (to verify identity) might be a good filter, but isn't it against what trustless system ideology?

It is! I like to see it as a personal exercise of mindfulness where I care more about what I type and talk about. Sure there will be typos and such but it's also a good way to see how permanency affects social media in a new way.
I suppose this "experiment" in a way teaches people about the false sense of security regarding the delete button we have on the typical social medias or any on the internet.
The idea of social media with permanent, undeletable posts can be a bit overwhelming for some / lots of people. We'll see how it goes :)
