I should write a post on why I went from a NIP-26 shill to considering it completely dead, irrelevant and even harmful

Should I turn it off on Nostream!?
I think so
it’s a deadman walking; it doesn’t have enough relay/client support and it doesn’t do what most people think it does
imo, we should deprecate the NIP entirely

If I heard nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft 's argument I might have an opinion.
heading to bed, but I’ll write something up soon
#[4] did write about it http://fiatjaf.com/4c79fd7b.html although I have some slightly different arguments against it from my experience elf trying to build nostrit.com based on NIP-26
What's the executive summary?
Yes, you should.
You should! I was so “bullshit” about it for DMs! 🐶🐾🤣
Please do, or just summarize for us. Having not thought much about it, delegation seems like a good thing. The only issue I see (because I haven't looked deeply) is that clients that don't support it will generally not fetch those delegated notes, or if they do they will misattribute them (but usually harmlessly to a key that isn't used otherwise).
What is your issue with it? I'm open minded (have no strong opinion here) and could be convinced to remove it from gossip (or downgrade it to a compile feature that is off by default)
Watching for this.
Please do, I’m keen to hear why.
If all clients supported NIP-26, it’d be great, but as it stands it seems like there’s little support, and no impetus to use it..
