 Competition with Bluesky?

Follow the git link. 
 Whoa… so they are trying to get the Bluesky people 
 It was a joke and then it wasn't. 
 Ohhh 😲 
 Now it's opened the discussion about every potential metadata you can add to a profile, and whether each and every one should be in the spec. 
 Do these fields show up automatically in the profile? Even if they’re empty I mean? That would bloat the thing no? 
 No idea, probably up to clients. I really know nothing lol 
 Ah so it could be in the specs and the clients wouldn’t necessarily implement it 
 No, clients would have to add them. Like with any other field too. 
 So the point of it is to function as a sort of thing more liberal clients could point to and say 'hey we know what liberals like, we're not a nazi bar, ignore what bluesky says'? 
 Actually yes.  
 Nazi bar 🤣🤣💀

lol on bluesky they would probably ban us for saying that 
 Yet we cater to them. The irony 🤣 
 They often call nostr a nazi bar, it's a staple phrase of theirs  
 That's interesting because most people here don't seem to particularly like socialists, both international and national. 
 Bluesky: where irony comes to life™ 
 that's not how it works in the epistemological cartoon playing on repeat in the bluesky user's brain 
 This feels like an episode of Black Mirror somehow

 No it depends on the client to implement the field. My opinion is in line with nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qg4waehxw309an8yetwwvh82arcduhx7mn99uuwx66a that the spec should be sparse and allow developers to add the fields they need. 
 I'm not sure, it doesn't seem like it. Futile lol 
 Not sure what to think about this one…
