 It's important that Ditto conforms to Nostr standards. Please read as much of the NIPs as you need to have a full understanding before adding or modifying Nostr events and filters. It is possible to add new ideas to Nostr that don't exist yet in the NIPs, but only after other options have been explored. Care must be taken when adding new Nostr ideas, to ensure they fit seamlessly within the existing Nostr ecosystem.
