If you'd have written that nostr is text only then it would be text only right now. I think you're underestimating the power of founding limits and consequential social enforcement. All the limits that you did set at the start are still respected. I'm saying it's way too complicated now. First you get DMs, and that means encryption, and that means losing your nsec becomes a bigger deal, and that means we need remote signers and bunkers, and it goes down and down in a spiral. What was stopping DMs from appearing in nostr? If you'd have said at the start "nostr is strictly not intended for encryption or DMs" in some very clear way then there would be no encryption or DMs right now, I'm pretty sure of that. And media, the moment you allow images and video you have CSAM obligations, and CDN serving, and centralised media hosting, and notes loading the text part and then 5 seconds later loading the image part and pushing the text part 10cm down the screen, and media rot and the whole core idea of a note being self-contained no longer applicable, and on and on. Nothing attempted to stop media from appearing in nostr. But if you think about it media and DMs are a kind of poison.
