That was an antipattern. We can't have a decentralized Nostr if we keep assuming all clients will implement everything.

If there is more stuff to implement that makes it so there are less "complete" clients. Users flock to the more complete clients, they get better and the other clients are left behind. With fewer clients they can agree among themselves to invent more and more features that make it even harder for other clients to compete.

Why do people always assume all clients must implement every new kind? I am not expecting people to implement this one. The feed will just look different in every client, as it SHOULD be. Some will see more, others less, others just a different set of NIPs, etc. There is no such thing as one feed.

"Oh, you didn't see my note? Use Amethyst, the other clients are broken, they are not showing my notes!"

There is never going to be a time where that does not happen. Amethyst or not... everytime I go to a different client a see different things. So, better embrace the chaos.

Remember that next time you want to edit a note: embrace the chaos!

Seriously though. I don't understand this need to display the same stuff everywhere. Clients are different and there is way too many NIPs already. It's fine.

Don't want to display the new editable posts? Not a problem. Maybe somebody will not want to display kind 1s, just replaceables.

your whole premise behind this idea was that not everyone is seeing the same thing (deletions)

you dont understand the need to display the same stuff yet want amethyst to display everything ie the same stuff lol

for me you dont understand what amethyst is good at and are making it worse in many ways

Why is the letter C, missing from your name?

choas n decentralize

For the long-form stuff I think this is fine. People get that these articles are "different". They assume they must go to some dedicated page to read them, so it's not actually causing much harm.

I think it's actually bad UX when one of these articles shows up in the normal microblogging feed.

But if we had just another note kind that showed up in some clients but not in others that would be interpreted as a bug on clients that don't show it.

Send character count as metadata

You can have decentralization and consensus among clients/protocols. It's just matter of time

popular clients will direct changes and dumb changes like this will damage the client and nostr

siloing content in new kinds is antithetical to what makes nostr successful

already we have an unnecessary divide of kind1 and kind42

amethyst is not improving but getting worse now

many are calling for features that are not being done like better filters and views, reddit view for example, antispam filters
