 Yeah, we were more upfront in the early days but users thought it was too annoying. 

What I realized is Nostr seems fine with not verifying any attached content. Devs tends to be highly dismissive about it and leads to a userbase that is not used to verify attached content.

 I think that if you increase the size of the icon and keep it always visible it would improve a lot. I didn't notice because the icon disappears very quickly.

 I for one am not dismissive.  If I post an innocent frog meme and somebody at the website where it is stored at (not mine) changes it to a swastika, that reflects badly on me and most nostr users will have no idea that I didn't post a swastika... thinking about how events are digitally signed it sure seems like I did!

Previously some people argued for storing binary objects inside of events.  I argued against due to performance reasons and CSAM legal reasons, not signature reasons.  I like the imeta 'x' field a lot and I think all the clients should both produce imeta tags with 'x' and also verify them.

My head wasn't even in this space a few weeks back and gossip is playing "catch up" on this. It does neither thing currently (on master) but I just got it verifying on unstable, and soon I will work on adding the imeta tag for links when posting.

 what if post a swastika and later claim it was originally a frog and you tell me due to your verification it is impossible

as Ron Paul said "the wall ( with Mexico ) can be used to keep us in"

 Would be great if that behavoir could be an option.
