Oddbean new post about login | logout I dunno exactly what fork is doing. If it just makes a new note as a copy of an existing note, with a link in the new note, that is fine. If it is using kind 1010 event versioning, that won't be recognized by other clients meaning it creates broken experiences.
There is a subtle difference : In #Amethyst , when I fork a note , it is presented to me as a copy , ready for the edit .. which is convenience ..but the crucial thing is there is a (system generated) link to the original note , which as a user I am abstained from edititing because the link shows up after I already posted .. I need to check if the link is visible in #gossip .. In a way , I am forced to link new note to to the original . I guess that is the subtle difference between copy/paste and fork !

It is a kind1. How is this better than copy-paste?
