I completely agree. #[18] is just the first mover in a nascent space to bring up this issue. Asking users to voluntarily push all long form content outside of Nostr won’t fix the problem as it doesn’t prevent someone else from doing it (eg,#[21] ). There needs to be a client focused solution, or if Nostr is truly for short form content then a character limit in the protocol itself.

How about a simple truncated, read more?
I’m not a developer but that seems a simple enough solution, at least from a user standpoint.
I think that helps fix the long form issue. But not the other issue of notifications that #[2] brings up. For this I think clients need to enable users to mute or snooze/turn off notifications similar to how telegram or signal do it. Maybe even for certain threads that get out of control (eg, anytime someone envokes the “he who shall not be named” bot)
