Huh? Sure. But the goal is to minimize the amount of trust and control that you have to give to other people. I host a Nostr relay for myself, for example.
Sure, I might have to use someone else's relays for reach but I always have a recourse in that my notes are also being sent to a node that I control.
Ah, gotcha -- I'd read your initial post as being about the data being scraped/sold, not deleted/taken out of someone's control.
But even there, unless you only stick to nostr or a few similar tools, there's loss potential everywhere -- I may have some of my SN posts saved, since I often compose them offline, but not all of them. And probably none of my comments. Ditto for a bunch of other sites from Livejournal to Reddit. Most are probably ones I'll never need or want to revisit, but there are probably some exceptions I'll lose at some point.
