Only notes are a threat for our regime, because that's the base from which familiarity with Nostr begins.

> base from which familiarity with Nostr begins.
for now... Notes are not the future of Nostr. Believe me, I am a kind 1 author and have an interest in making Kind 1s survive. However, it's very clear to me that this kind 1-main party is not going to last very long. :)
Actually I'm just kidding, but honestly the load on the server will really increase and it's not even clear for what. There are less pros than cons.
Yes kind 1 is dumb and probably won't last long, but still Nostr is at the beginning of the road and it's a bit early to kill kind 1 🤔 Especially since people are mostly used to notes that can't be edited.
why is kind 1 dumb?
practically. It feels like it exists only because of Twitter. Like, "Oh, well, there was something similar on Twitter many years ago, we should have it too.". And now, "Damn, it was a so-so idea. Nobody needs Twitter in 2023"
you can do lots of things with kind1 like chat, reddit, forums
twitter is just one aspect, point is we have this large data set we can share between apps in different ways
i think because of that we will do better than twitter where we switch views, i am interested where we can do chat in a thread but later view it like reddit
why? clients using cross client data like kind1 is the most important part of nostr, already kind42 breaks shit
