interesting, I had not considered a future where the protocol supports multiple ways to do the same task. is there precedent for that in nostr? you know the nips better than me but to date it seems like there’s one way to do things, generally speaking.
Discussion
It's not that rare. NIP-26 and NIP-46 are kinda doing the same thing by very different means. Kind 3 relay lists and NIP-65 lists are "similar". Kind 10000 for mute lists is also done as Kind 30000 with a `mute` label. NIP-04 and the new NIP-24 will both do Direct Messages.
As Nostr grows, we will see more and more alternative ways to do similar things.
