benevolent dictators??? 👀

I supported the idea of it, but man, it really just went and got merged quick, didn’t it. 😬

I’d like to have my web of trust take over management of the NIPs for me. No need for a centralized repo. For many or most NIPs, my WoT and your WoT will produce identical or nearly-identical protocols.

Wait what? Doesn’t this mess with the whole underpinnings or am I reading that wrong? The nips changing portion. And doesn’t that mean it’s an attack vector for something malicious? Also I have two thoughts on knowing who is working on protocol level dev: 1) I have been wondering who exactly ...

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 what say you

The list of alleged tyrants has been leaked. As expected... the usual suspects: https://image.nostr.build/431661eb597335ecfcad28fc43e1c71edb1289611542289bad85ca605634c663.png

Maybe I'm missing something, but I think this is overblown. Nostr is permissionless, I build what I want how I want, the nips act as an agreement for interop, but I can implement smth that others follow without any formal nip in the repo, it's just consensus. The repo is always owned by someone.

Are you saying the NIP proposals on git are being changed and merged to master/main without a pull request and author notification?

no such thing as a nip author anymore https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/commit/37f6cbb775126b386414220f783ca0f5f85e7614

What were the main nature of the changes?
