Short-form content is typically different from long-form content. It’s quick thoughts or updates, meant for quick reading. I rarely read short content twice; editing them is pointless. If your content has mistakes, just delete it and post a new one.

There is an issue with that. Some clients dont process delete events yet. So, posts get duplicated every time they happen. :(
Introducing a new kind for edits won't fix clients not implementing extant specs
I disagree. I remember when no client showed long-form content. We implemented it blending the new post into the feed and, it took some time, but others followed. Same for custom emojis, etc.
If there is use, it helps people prioritize them. If there is no use, then no one needs to worry about it :)
Only if everyone switches to the new kind, kind 1's are here to stay, and deletions will only get implemented if people care about them (side note, next release will have some deletion support).
That was an antipattern. We can't have a decentralized Nostr if we keep assuming all clients will implement everything.
If there is more stuff to implement that makes it so there are less "complete" clients. Users flock to the more complete clients, they get better and the other clients are left behind. With fewer clients they can agree among themselves to invent more and more features that make it even harder for other clients to compete.
Why do people always assume all clients must implement every new kind? I am not expecting people to implement this one. The feed will just look different in every client, as it SHOULD be. Some will see more, others less, others just a different set of NIPs, etc. There is no such thing as one feed.
"Oh, you didn't see my note? Use Amethyst, the other clients are broken, they are not showing my notes!"
There is never going to be a time where that does not happen. Amethyst or not... everytime I go to a different client a see different things. So, better embrace the chaos.
Remember that next time you want to edit a note: embrace the chaos!
Seriously though. I don't understand this need to display the same stuff everywhere. Clients are different and there is way too many NIPs already. It's fine.
Don't want to display the new editable posts? Not a problem. Maybe somebody will not want to display kind 1s, just replaceables.
your whole premise behind this idea was that not everyone is seeing the same thing (deletions)
you dont understand the need to display the same stuff yet want amethyst to display everything ie the same stuff lol
for me you dont understand what amethyst is good at and are making it worse in many ways
Why is the letter C, missing from your name?
choas n decentralize
For the long-form stuff I think this is fine. People get that these articles are "different". They assume they must go to some dedicated page to read them, so it's not actually causing much harm.
I think it's actually bad UX when one of these articles shows up in the normal microblogging feed.
But if we had just another note kind that showed up in some clients but not in others that would be interpreted as a bug on clients that don't show it.
Send character count as metadata
You can have decentralization and consensus among clients/protocols. It's just matter of time
popular clients will direct changes and dumb changes like this will damage the client and nostr
siloing content in new kinds is antithetical to what makes nostr successful
already we have an unnecessary divide of kind1 and kind42
amethyst is not improving but getting worse now
many are calling for features that are not being done like better filters and views, reddit view for example, antispam filters
