It seems like there are two irreconcilable positions on this:
One side argues that the edit feature is technically complex, making it difficult for multiple clients to implement. This could lead to centralization, as the feature would be concentrated in a single client, or it could create issues where the same note appears differently in different clients. Therefore, they believe that edit functionality should never have been implemented from the start.
On the other hand, the opposing side argues that this is really a basic, fundamental feature that should be there.
What if, instead of including the content in the note ID, we only include everything except the content itself when generating the ID and then sign it? The content could be stored separately and merely referenced. This way, we could freely modify the content without complex implementations for how replies would refer to it.
And for other users, the note would simply be displayed with the understanding that "this person is saying something that could easily be changed later." What do you think about this approach?
