"In general we have a nostr problem with replacable list events and how easy it is for apps to override and wipe out lists." 🎯 nostr:nevent1qqsr7mtxqvxfu38a30my4adptk9qvg8wjxnnch7fs7c7k8dnaf5v5xgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygrkcud2uwjfruweamz8ewshug5umfq38g9mkmn2u9mk6ajru2w2lgpsgqqqqqqs2llp84
Wish I spoke dev.
Yep. Lists are terrible. They are only appealing when the are small. And small lists are quite useless.
Yeah, we need a better way of handling them. Because I would also like to be able to tell a relay, give me all events from pub’s in this list. But the way we do lists right now isn’t scalable.
Best option right now is an unbounded list. Basically a bunch of separate events that together make the list. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/784
