 I still think q is cleaner. When using e tags and markers clients are forced to pull down quotes when pulling the thread, which is a waste of bandwidth.

 But yes we can filter them out using markers, but clients should be doing the right thing here and not wasting peoples bandwidth by using q tags

 Oh, I never thought of it that way. That’s a good point. Has anyone proposed this as an amendment to NIP-18?

 Yeah it will be pretty important for popular posts. No i don’t think it has been proposed yet.

 I was already in the middle of cleaning up the language in that NIP and others that relate to event mentioning and referencing. I’ll take a stab at it.

 Instead of q tags, just send the event ID to a proprietary cloud service and make it create a screenshot of the post, which you then upload as an image to nostr.build and insert the URL into the content with a giant hash and no imeta tag. Problem solved.
