Nostr Web Client

I agree.

When I send a gif URL is it sent as a Kind 1? The reason I ask is when you say 'blog post' that's what I'm thinking of in my mind. I write a few words, it's cast as a static URL in a note (kind 1?) and the user sees the words like they always see. When I edit that blog post the URL in the note is unchanged but it's rendered content has changed.

It's clear that the author could use this as a way to rug people in various ways but wouldn't their WoT start taking hits as people who got rugged unfollow the npub?

Images are usually sent as mutable urls, yeah, but nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszynhwden5te0dehhxarjw4jjucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0wdshgetvd35hgefwdpa8yep3xsujucm0d5hszrtpd3nk7tn4w3ux7tn0dejsqgpxdq27pjfppharynrvhg6h8v2taeya5ssf49zkl9yyu5gxe4qg55nf2h2q is fixing this with blossom, which extends the content addressability to files as well.

Yes, but that's not really a complete disincentive. Maybe they don't care about their wot and they're trolling, maybe their already famous and they get to be deceptive about what they've said publicly (c.f. SBF).

There are other reasons listed in nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnhv4ehgetjde38gcewvdhk6tcprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qgkwaehxw309a3x2an09ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hszxrhwden5te0v96zumn0wd68yam0wf4hxtnrdakj7qpq80cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyvuudm's article he linked above, one of which is that edits with history are quite complex, and raise the bar for developers to prototype new clients.

Man, this whole issue is way more fascinating than I would have thought.

It's deep. I tried to explain it more theoretically here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-5DHymkfzw. Referential transparency is a superpower.

Look here, lemonhead, how dare I NOT include you?

That'd just be plain rude.

People in positions of power say a lot of deceptive things. The ability to rewrite history (aka 1984 sytle) is a wonderful tool for cultivating that power. Look at legacy media.

I want to see nostr other-stuff that starts copying everything these elite say and publish it for the immutable record. It will not take long after to see who are the tyrants, and who are the prophets.
