I think my favorite part of all was that the user OWNED their own data.
The user could tombstone (overwrite as null) their own stuff. Or even just overwrite to edit it.
It felt like the user had real, actual freedom. They weren’t at the mercy of server operators.
Yes, on GunDB unliking / unreposting / deleting a comment was as easy as turning a light switch.
I believe something like GunDB on Nostr will be eventually built. Organizing stuff by human-readable nested directory paths is so much better than having to come up with new event kinds for each application or purpose.
If we look at Onosendai cyberspace as an example, it seems very possible that the future of Nostr is in layer 2 protocols that use Nostr as the layer 1 engine.
I could see “AppSpace” on Nostr being a thing. A global app graph with user namespaces. Nostr is just used for data patches and POW stuff
