Whatever happened to "permissionless decentralized network"? If you (we) can't deal with even simple attacks like this then nostr is DOA. The main defense to protocol attacks is counter-attacks, either via client feature support (or lack of it), or specially crafted events. The result in either case is that users get a broken experience if they or people they follow use "bad" features.
The edit spam is the latter kind of attack. If users want edits but don't want spam, they can keep using Amethyst and stop following fiatjaf. If they want to keep following fiatjaf but avoid spam, they can use a new client. Be glad I guess that the spam is coming from just a few users, not from an entire hostile client like might someday arrive when Meta finds nostr.
> Whatever happened to "permissionless decentralized network"?
You tell me. You are trying to tell not only me as dev but all my users what they can and cannot use.
Amethyst is working great even with the attacks. And yes, many people are blocking those that are trying these attacks.
Most importantly, everybody is learning who is here to impose their will on users and who is here to figure out what users want to do and support them.
So why are you so bent out of shape about it? Is there no reasonable motive for doing what fiatjaf is doing that doesn't depend on him acting in bad faith?
There was a reasonable motive that has been debunked over and over again. Now it's just recycling old arguments that don't make any sense. To me, that is the definition of bad faith. He is not interested in leaving people alone in the way they want to use Nostr for.
"debunked" Who exactly is the arbiter of truth here?
No one told you you "can't" implement edits, just that you "shouldn't". That's an appeal to reason, not an imposition of power. Edit spam is a demonstration, within the rules of the protocol, of that disagreement. Now, if fiatjaf deleted your PR from the github that would be bad, but nothing like that is happening.
> "debunked" Who exactly is the arbiter of truth here?
Users. If they want it, they will have it.
That's not debunking, that's user preference.
Sure... Never fight user preference. Or you are going to lose.
Always listen to your users. Never take what they say at face value.

can you link to what was debunked? I don't think I've seen your counterargument
I think you'll have to build snopestr first
