prime example of the clown show that is the rockstar devs who are making dumbass architecture and API decisions for #nostr protocol and why it's retarded that a) there is no markdown as a secondary type of plain text and b) no diffs to update/edit posts instead of deleting old ones with "replaceable" event kinds
of course there is a logic for checkpointing changes at some point to eliminate losing the originals once in a while (like how video encoders usually have a complete image every so many frames) but the normal modification method should be diffs, and obviously the diff should be on the signable form (which they also clown show haven't made a proper name for: hint: it's called "canonical)
this is how you know that the majority of #nostr devs are under 30 years old and mostly have not had more than a year of systems programming experience

quoting nevent1q…8nt8I don't like that many clients pick up my kind30023 posts as if they were the news of the hour andput them right in my feed every time I write something or even do minor edits.
I see these two kinds of posts as very different. The long-form stuff is supposed to just sit there for people interested in reading them at whatever time they see fit, while the microblogging notes are more like shouting in the middle of a public square.
Since I know that clients will get any article I write and show it to everybody I follow immediately I end up not wanting to write them anymore.
Maybe allowing people to choose if they want to "shout" about a long-form article instead (by publishing a kind1 note that quotes it) is better than the current state of things.
