i mean i can absolutely imagine incrementally editing image, video, audio content is a bigger ask of a platform than editing text, analogous with the problems with large assets in git (for text we have pretty much perfected diff algorithms, and it's dealing with much less data in the first place)
Yes. There will be no git on Nostr unless there is an edit... People here are not realizing that all it would take is to integrate the edits, basically saying: "Guys, this guy has a big dick, we can't have that here, everyone keep your dicks at 4 inches, like ours" 😂
What do you mean by diff algorithms? Why do you think diff algorithms are even needed in this case? Maybe I'm missing something, but both text and video and images could all just be replaced entirely, therefore the difficulty is the same everywhere. If the edit was actually a diff on Nostr it would make more sense.
Maybe clients can just implement a post type that paraes a link to some hosted url where the user can edit its content. Relays could sell the hosting space for the editable/deletable posts feature to be stored on the relay. Advantage is there’s no need to change the basics of nostr protocol, only clients need to agree on a new post type.
