You can perfectly do that and in fact you could argue that’s one use case of highlighter.com; I see myself doing that to pull out specific things to reply to on kind 1s. But including the whole content you’re replying to embedded in the content looks bad and breaks the structured data formatting of nostr events (increases parsing complexity/ambiguity). Why not create specific event kind:1 tagging the content you’re replying to and allow threading to do its magic?

It's up to the author if they want to include the whole content. It's easy enough to edit out the things that don't apply. > > Why not create specific event kind:1 tagging the content you’re replying to and allow threading to do its magic? Oh I think we should all do that. More-speech certainly does. I just don't think that's sufficient for the application of discussion topics and debate.
