Should have made them backwards compatible imo. Didn’t need to hardfork like this. Could have just referenced urls in tags.

These seems like strongarming other clients to implement some spec they may not want to implement. Now we have broken images from a major nostr client. Are you implementing images this way #[5]​ ?
Agree, we need backwards compatibility until consensus is reached. Breaking functionality to force a change is not cool.
Developing nostr so fast with so many different clients gaining traction, I'm surprised things like this haven't been more common. Challenging forks are bound to happen, nostr has no consensus mechanism whatsoever.
