Replying to Avatar cloud fodder

trying to delete/modify and events getting spread far and wide past the relays theyre supposed to be on.. are part of why both solutions struggle..

imagine a scenario, if you're using delete to unfollow, that wont work. i could have you refollow me just by republishing the label you created.

(see how it gets weird?)

Wait, why can't we just look at the Profile's relay as the authority?

This is a more general "Delete" + "What Is The Latest Version?" problem and is imo fixed by just looking at the authoritative relay.

For Communities → main relay

For Individual Profiles → main relay

as long as you know what relay to look at yes, but the state of relay lists is pretty bad rn.. (stale, invalid, spread too far, etc)

for a community, yeah thats more of an authority than a relay list can be since its tied closer with the communities relays as the source.

Lol, yeah agreed on the state of affairs.

That's just because there's no daily driver apps that let you manage your relay in the app. Yet.
