I kinda hate the name "event" myself but I can't think of anything else anymore, I mostly use "notes" to talk about kind:1.

I noticed nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg was using note for kind1 as well. In nostrdb and damus codebases it’s used for any kind. Whatever lol
I always thought about "other stuff" as anything that isn't kind 1 but it's notes all the way down 🐢
I like 'event' because it implies an action in time; and because signing is a performance, this is correct.
As such an event implies it carriers its own context of actor(s) and time; which is also correct.
Event is the correct term, and as is always true, Dutch does it better, naming it: Gebeurtenis
These are the only events I like because events in real life makes me anxious.
