It doesn't work, you just have a new note and everyone else sees your old one. Even on Amethyst your old note flashes first

A user signs an event that they made a mistake and wants to change something about their post. I would rather see their edit.

It doesn't go against cryptographic verifiability. If they try to maliciously change the content, that's easy to call out since you still have the original signed event.

Deleting doesn't exist either technically. But it's still better UX for relay operators to delete posts that the user wants gone. And most do. It doesn't unsign the event. Anyone who has a copy can still spread that around, but it's just a basic courtesy to delete something that they want gone. Same goes for edits.

Edits/deletes are a mere illusion in event sourcing systems. But a useful illusion nonetheless.

What if we had a relay where new people could manually submit content to and pay a "curation fee", then some smart humans would pocket the fee and manually vet each submission and only allow in those ...

It would not help most of the newcomers complaining about engagement though, because most of them would be indifferentiable from an LLM output.

The age of fully online discoverability is over for all but the most talented accounts (across any medium; short form, long articles, podcasts, videos etc.).

Ideas like yours a decent way to promote the underrated accounts (and imo better than the tiktok model which is first filtering out most AI accounts with VPN IP filtering, then showing new accounts videos to 1000 people to gauge engagement metrics), but it does nothing for the actual 90+% of new users (who aren't capable of spewing signal by the minute), who drop off because they never found a community to keep them engaged with idle banter.

Imo for this we need a fedi style system with onboarding onto community relays. Whatever niche you start engaging with nostr through, you will start off posting to their relay. For example, if there is a community of bronies on nostr, someone will start a mlp relay as a home base to host the new users who join nostr through their community.

And here is the killer feature that would make this model work with no other changes: clients should look at your outbox relays and automatically determine the niche relays you're a part of, and put posts from it into your home feed. Less priority than your follows, but it should be woven in to keep the feed looking full.

Edits aren't real, there's no such thing as editing a signed event.

you need to explain what the problem is, or go back to where you came from
