apparently all the nostr app devs are unanimously in support of it.
what exactly does it show about "caring about ideas not people" exactly? more like trying to create an image of a monolithic, faceless "community" of insiders.
Discussion
Where did you find other devs commenting on this? I'm curious to see that since the first time I saw this commit was when you pointed it out.
Arguably, having no authors seems less insider-y than 20 nips with jb55 and fiatjaf's names on them lol. It's at least debatable.
Ah, didn't see there was a PR, just the commit.
The argument that `git blame` provides a better accounting of authorship is probably the strongest argument for this. It *is* weird that it was proposed and merged within 12 hours without buy in from some very important nostr devs and nip writers.
it's a wrong argument because the documents are now not standalone, they must be combined with the git log to be fully read.
if the archive is zipped up, like for a "release" as github has, all that information is lost.
and like you say, no real quorum was made on this decision.
it was like the christmas eve institution of the federal reserve.
