I removed everybody in February or March because I thought it was going too free-for-all, then slowly gave access to some other people. In any case I don't think the NIPs repo is the best solution either.

I was against the changes to the zap spec but I'm not sure I said anything about this time since I don't have any stakes on that game. As you know, I think the zaps spec wasn't optimal from the start and I voiced that when I first learned about it, in your PR, but it was already too late since you already had it as a settled standard in your head and wasn't willing to change it a single bit.

Moreover it was already a standard since Amethyst and Snort had already implemented your spec. At the time you didn't mind that, but now when Amethyst and Snort and other clients decide to move the same spec to other directions you're realizing how that can be a problem sometimes.

Discussion

By the way, I don't think Damus is a threat at all. I may have thought that multiple times in the past, but in the past 4 months I have been agreeing wholeheartedly with all your comments and decisions and thinking (again) that Damus is a force of good and cheering for it.

I didn't give you access to the NIPs repo again because you have clearly said you don't like the discussions there. Even then I merged your latest spec changes to NIP-23. By the way, in the same issue that you got upset about and said you wouldn't do NIPs anymore -- the image metadata stuff that included blurhash etc -- I agreed with you and supported you, and I think it was sad that you gave up that fight and created a "damus standards" repo or something like that.

I didn’t force anything though with the zaps spec. I iterated on it with nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 who made the spec a lot better. This narrative that I forced it through was ridiculous, and the feedback I got back from you was just not good, sorry.

Noone has suggested substantial changes to make it “better”, including you. If its so bad than suggest an improvement.

Honestly this constant hostility from you is offputting and doesn’t really make me interested in working with the zbd-and-fiatjaf-centralized and cliquey nip repo at this point. nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj is starting a spec for publishing NIPs on nostr so I will be putting more energy into that.

You didn't even answer to my criticisms or to any of the other criticisms that were posted on your zaps PR, please.

Keep communicating with each other. Thanks for all everyone has done to create Nostr.

Because it was pointless bikeshedding about the style of the lnurl endpoint from someone who wasn’t building a client, this is after i was working on the spec with different client authors for weeks. The existence of zaps at that point in time (height of initial nostr onboarding) was more important than rearranging furniture and delaying it for little gain.

This just confirms what I said.

Sorry I didn’t realize you were the final decision maker on all nips

🍿🍿

What? I merged the damn NIP even though I didn't agree with it. What else did you think I should have done?

I remember reading this as it happened. You essentially said it was already decided upon so you might as well merge it anyways.

Fuck! So this is it. This is the moment when teams split

Gentleman may I suggest moving this discussion to DMs. Fiatjaf shipped half the coins to damus let's assume everyone has good intentions and all on the same team here and acting in good faith, even if there might be some valid criticisms of how things are going?

Nobody likes to see parents fighting 🫂💜

Would be nice to read some actual criticism of the way the NIPs repo is being handled instead of these personal attacks. I never attacked you personally.

I also don't understand why you hate ZBD so much or what does that have to do with anything, since it's a custodial client for ZBD users, it's not competing with Damus at all.

I see you are angry and you hate me at this moment but I am not seeing exactly what I did to deserve that. I have seen you get angry with others and I have been angry myself many times, so I understand that. I just think would be nice if you -- or anyone who is reading this who that have issues with me -- could tell me with a little more clarity what are the issues.

My DMs on Telegram are always open to anyone if you prefer that.

Outsider looking in but maybe you yanking Will’s privileges to publish nips has something to do with it? Seems like a dick move.

Are there any resources available I can reqd up on for that NIPs-on-nostr thing?
