No, please don't destroy Nostr.
This is a tool for scammers, and politicians will love this feature of you. If historical posts could be edited, Nostr would become a den for scammers. I like the feature of Nostr that posts cannot be deleted, because the posts made by each of us, regardless of joys, sorrows, typos, and emotional opinions, represent our true selves on Nostr.
Blogs are academic essays, while short posts are about life and yourself.
They can already delete the post and rewrite it with the past date. You won't even notice that they changed it. What you are seeing is an illusion. There is nothing blocking politicians and scammers from changing their posts today. This proposal simply creates an easier way while display the last update time for the honest folks out there.
No one will blame you if you fail to stop politicians and liars. But if you prepare tools for politicians and liars to deceive people more easily, you will be denounced by people.
I know this is not your original purpose, it is just a technical discussion. Please don't do evil. This is not the purpose of our coming to Nostr.
Short article posts on Nostr are historical records of our life thoughts. In real life, we will say the wrong things, make mistakes, and have emotional breakdowns, but these are real people, not a perfect academic paper. Or not a politician who is packaged as flawless and perfect.
If your purpose in coming to Nostr is to make better tools for crooks and politicians, rather than building tools of freedom for people who pursue freedom. You can indeed do this.
he wont destroy nostr just amethyst
