I don't understand this perspective. Edits are clearly shown as edits, you can always see original, and it provides a compact yet expressive way for us to acknowledge and clarify our mistakes rather than appearing not to care.

Spamming is just spam. nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9uq3xamnwvaz7tmhda6zuat50phjummwv5hsx7c9z9 may have been the inventor or co-inventor or founder or whatever of #Nostr, but he is not immune to spamming.

I don't honestly see the issue, I follow him, I click the edited button to see his original message, I move on.

 The issue is not the usage from a user perspective; the issue is that it creates a fork, between clients that support this and clients that don’t. A client that shows edits will show an entirely different thing than a client that doesn’t.

Keeping kind 1 simple is crucial which is also why we don’t support markdown, html, and all kinds of bells and whistles.

If you increase the cost of running a node few people will.

 But tools like Nostr Development Kits will raise the bar from the other side. 

 You can’t depend on SDKs to abstract complexity; that’s the death of protocols because then the SDK becomes a choke point and developers using the SDK become captive, downstream, to the SDK.
