For kind 1 highlights I think it makes sense to show the note inline, wdyt?

Removal of character limit destroyed twitter. Kind 1 should be short, as long as it's short I think inline is good.

Lmao no it’s the complete opposite. Character limitation prevents meaningful thought and expression, and people instead just resort to primal insults and nasty gotchas. Nostr is 1000000x better than Twitter, because you can actually discuss things here.
Long text good. Short text bad

Definitely, more oriented to the discussion with foundations than to the superfluous comments

Highlighter pulls in the context of the surrounding text if the highlight is a fragment of the sentence/paragraph

I like it. Gives some context to the highlight.
Exactly 🙌
nostr can do long-form no problem, but it's a different KIND Not all clients should support all KINDS imho. That would be an everything app.
I agree with this too. I think the way that Twitter implemented long form was poor choice. The content should have been separated and regular tweets should have remained as is. Then let people who care to read a lot browse the other area.
Think of it this way: without imposition, the act of creation can not happen. Without limitation, everything goes, which funnily enough means that nothing happens, because everything is equally likely to occur. (I know this is very philosophical and meta, but you get my point). Creativity and expression requires restriction, and every medium restricts automatically. That's why the medium IS the message. Limitation isn't inherently bad. I also don't think that 140 characters automatically rot your brain for what it's worth. Attention algorithms are a far bigger problem (that's why YouTube can rot your brain too).
(I realize the irony of the above post being longer than 140 characters 😂)

The power of opposite forces in general makes everything work in the first place, because one is meaningless without the other. Yin & yang | good & bad | imposition & creation Can freedom exist without restriction? …this is all way to philosophical for a note about highlights. 😅
