Kind 16 generic reposts

Solving #576.

[staab]

Do you mind if I use this for implementing moderation for public groups?

[fiatjaf]

Why not make a new kind?

[staab]

I'm mostly joking, I won't use this because I don't use reposts in Coracle, but I do support nevent embeds, which currently are breaking kind 1's based on your concept of composition being non-interoperable, this PR doesn't solve that.

[fiatjaf]

Everybody supports nevent embeds, I don't think they are breaking. I also am not a radical about not having composition, I just think people shouldn't be radical about having full composability.

[staab]

Interesting, what is the difference between a re-post and an embed, other than the added context?

[fiatjaf]

It's the same. The embed is a quote-repost and vice-versa. That's how Twitter works too. The canonical content of a Twitter quote-repost is just a comment plus a link to the other tweet.

NIP-18 reposts are pure reposts, with no added comments.

ACK

(I like this because as a different event kind, I can ignore them)

[vitorpamplona]

Can we change the advice to add the event into .content for 16?

It SHOULD contain the stringified JSON of the reposted note event for a quick look up.

[vitorpamplona]

Amethyst v60+ supports this change. Kind 1s will be boosted with kind 6 and everything else with kind 16, the k tag and the event in .content. All generic boosts are shown in the feed just like kind 6s are.

[fiatjaf]

Great. Thanks!

[fiatjaf]

Can we change the advice to add the event into .content for 16?

I've changed this on a separate commit.

[arthurfranca]

People will use kind 6 to repost all event kinds and also kind 16 with k: ["1"] tag ^_^

[fiatjaf]

Do you think?

[fiatjaf]

habla.news has also already stopped sending kind:6 and is sending kind:16 now: verbiricha/habla.news@026b678

[arthurfranca]

just kidding xd
I think main clients will follow spec and that's what matters most
