Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

Related to the idea? No. I think it would be a better social network.

Related to the spec? Kind of. Specs are hard. If you leave it open, somebody will create and start mixing their events with the regular events in the network. And NIPs are trash right now.

I seriously hope that questions like these can help solidify where the community is and change the spec for the better.

I think NIPs could be worded better, but more words donā€™t necessarily mean itā€™s better. Look at DID wall-of-text and the first thing that comes to mind is: I donā€™t have time to read all this crap.

If you have suggestions on the NIPs to improve wording and make things more explicit I and you I ask you to please submit your recommendations on a PR. This is the only way things can get better is by people pitching in.

It's not about the wording. It's about clarity. NIP authors simply have not had enough clarity themselves to know where the boundaries of the protocol are. And boundaries are the only thing that matter in specs.

I agree, DIDs went overboard. And yes, I am submitting PRs.

Thank you for the PRs. This is a community effort after al!
