Who else is using "q" for quoted events instead of "e"? And why not?

We use 'e' with a 'mention' marker

E with "quote" marker ftw

I think β€œe” has mixed use, so it got complicated. I used β€œq” for quote just because it renders β€œcorrectly” on other clients.

Always use q, and don't want to replace it!

Surely not. I add an nevent to the content and an 'e' tag with a mention marker.

Clients which just want to fetch replies will also fetch quoted posts because of that e tag. That's why I prefer some other tag than e. Even better if reposts and replies had their own kinds. Kind 1 should just be root notes.
