Images are usually sent as mutable urls, yeah, but @hzrd149 is fixing this with blossom, which extends the content addressability to files as well. > wouldn't their WoT start taking hits as people who got rugged unfollow the npub? Yes, but that's not really a complete disincentive. Maybe they don't care about their wot and they're trolling, maybe their already famous and they get to be deceptive about what they've said publicly (c.f. SBF). There are other reasons listed in @fiatjaf's article he linked above, one of which is that edits with history are quite complex, and raise the bar for developers to prototype new clients.

"...maybe their already famous and they get to be deceptive about what they've said publicly (c.f. SBF). People in positions of power say a lot of deceptive things. The ability to rewrite history (aka 1984 sytle) is a wonderful tool for cultivating that power. Look at legacy media. I want to see nostr other-stuff that starts copying everything these elite say and publish it for the immutable record. It will not take long after to see who are the tyrants, and who are the prophets.
