I want to avoid having all these as different things to render:
- Kind 1 Note
- Kind 11 Post without subject
- Kind 11 Post with subject
- Kind 30040 type: thread (since that would be the only clear Thread spec then)
I don't see the need to reinvent Kind 1 with NIP-7D.
We can just start replying with Kind 1111s on Kind 1 and have the same thing. Especially if no one is using the subject anyway.

We're not, it's a completely different concept. It's intended for use in old-school forum-like apps, not in kind 1 apps.
Within the same community, it's almost the exact same concept.
No, it absolutely isn't. Kind 1 allows for deeply nested reply hierarchies, 7D does not (for example). Clients should encourage longer, more complete thoughts in 7D vs kind 1s, which are context-independent and probably more memetic. It's a different medium entirely.
how does 7D not enable deeply nested reply hierarchies?
+1
(i have not looked deeply at the spec) if you can't have nested replies I don't know if I would use that..
From the spec:
> Replies should always be to the root `kind 11` to avoid arbitrarily nested reply hierarchies.
> should
gottem
SHOULD is being awfully perscriptive here, I don't see why a thread spec would be so opinionated about this?
it immediately prevents it from being used as something like a reddit thread ?
Yes, that's crucial to the definition. I made this because I want a medium that doesn't have deeply nested conversations to enforce participants to stay on topic and contribute to a single "discussion". This has implications for the user interfaces that can be built, and for how people interact on a given topic. This is really the only differentiating factor from kind 1. See flotilla's threads feature for how this looks in practice.
So if they're short articles, then why aren't they kind 30023 short articles?
With the markdown etc... built in.
I don't see how to explain this in-between thing to people.
30023s also allow nested replies, which kind 11 doesn't. In terms of semantics, how is a blog post distinct from a post on a forum? A lot of ways! A blog post is published within the context of an author (or publication), a forum thread is posted within the context of a topic or board. Blog posts are the focal point of the comments, a forum topic is a starting point for a longer discussion. Blog post comments may diverge into different sub-topics of the blog post, forum threads are "on topic" (or, "off-topic" as the case may be). They are entirely different media, and don't need to be squashed together.
1) 30032 should have Kind 11 replies.
2) The only is difference is the target + the limits to who can post the articles there
In the personal blog case the target is the publishers own community, where only he can publish articles.
In the Ray Peat Forum case the target is the Ray Peat Community, where anyone can publish articles.
Same content type in both cases.
> The only is difference is the target + the limits to who can post the articles there
Why are you ignoring me when I say that nested replies is the key difference? This is a key part of the medium.
Because I don't get that part. In the NIP it says you can reference parents.
In NIP 22? Sure, but NIP 7D specifies not to do that:
> Replies should always be to the root `kind 11` to avoid arbitrarily nested reply hierarchies.
Maybe I should have used a different reply kind, but I don't really see why this is ambiguous.
I think we'll just build:
:article: Forums on Kind 30032 and Kind 30040 (type: article) in one feed
:thread: Threads with Kind 1
So far I don't see reasons to have any other content type
I think you should do that. It's ok if you don't understand why 7D exists, you don't have to use it.
Can you prove anyone understands why it exists?
Yep. Great!
Will not use 7D then. That's clearly not my thing.
Totally a deeply nested convo lover, on any content type.
yeah same... I think nip22 supports nested replies just fine from what I understand. just need to pick a root scope/kind
Yup!

Kind 1111 is sort of over-engineered for something so simple
