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. @fiatjaf 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. If it is the size of his posts, I'll say it again. Spam is spam.

Annoying that my touches didn't show up in the recording, but I am tapping the text next to the time (11h) on the top right of the post. I can see all edits. If anything, we could choose to load just the original and last one.
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. If you increase the cost of creating a client few people will.
