I would like to submit a pubkey deletion event like this:

{
  "kind": 5,
  "pubkey": "c53baeff380922a7db05623495242637bf70b94bef29fa3c1665c8bfe40b400d",
  "content": "",
  "tags": [
    ["p", "c53baeff380922a7db05623495242637bf70b94bef29fa3c1665c8bfe40b400d"]
  ],
  // ...
}

I think having the ability to delete content is very important. It's a user privacy concern, it can help during disaster-recovery, and I think it will be essential for mass-adoption of Nostr. Currently events need to be deleted one at a time, so I submitted a NIP for invalidating an entire pubkey: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/377

In order for this NIP to be approved, it needs relay implementations. So I'm humbly requesting that, if you also believe in this idea, you help make this NIP a reality by implementing it in nostream.
