Yes nip04 is incredibly broken and there is broad consensus that it's so, and now we've basically given up on dms. And now we are doing the same thing to threads, effectively giving up on all of nostr

Block didn't even do a real implementation in the end they just made their own custom relay that only works with buzz. It doesn't interoperate with any other clients.

It won't become the standard because we will lose the genesis of nostr, you can't transition out of backwards compatibility, you either just give up the last 5 years of threads or you support two standards or you have a broken ux. Those are the options now.

And for what? All clients grab reply counts to display feeds so we download the exact same amount of data. Literally all downside zero upside.
