🤔 interesting approach, @jb55; this does mean that you can't query for the quote reposts of a note though not sure how I feel about that, maybe it's a feature not a bug? 🤷‍♂️

I wanted it to be a different kind but so many clients do quote repost this way I didn’t want to create more work for everyone by creating another repost spec no one likes.

I appreciate that; I was writing

this morning and getting it to parse mentions in the new way felt like redoing a bunch of work. Appreciate you 🤝

If we really care about counting quote reposts we can make it a new kind in the future.

it could also be a different. non-`e` tag, but that might be asking for trouble designing from first principles this would probably simply be a different kind

I thought about it a bit more and the quote repost without a tag breaks data links; it’s not just about the counting of reposts. A conversation around a quoted event has some kind of relevance to the quoted event; it would be nice to be able to show those offshoot conversations from it. (I’m thinking, what happens when someone embeds a 9802 event on a 1 note?; I’d like to show those discussions as children of the 9802)

Works for me

Because #damus is on my privilege of protection list.

Maybe relays could implement a new query type for finding these?

Why would this be asking for trouble ? I’ll use q tag View quoted note →

I really just don’t want these taking up precious space in the thread filter. So either we change kinds or use a different tag for references. I think a different tag is ideal. I’ll use q.

Yeah, a different tag is just simple af

Next version of damus will add a q tag for quoted events
