This paul likely lacked future knowledge.

Perhaps 'Soon'?
He already interfered just by talking to her and keeping her sane. Which mean he'd already massively butterflied canon and there's no telling what would happen instead.

Huh. Not a context I've seen it used in before. Well, nevermind me, then.

He knew enough to gush.
I'm getting increasingly convinced that the Orange Latern Corps as well as Paul is getting some really significant boost to their manpower and just straight out experience, and that Paul won't come back to his self in YJ universe just the same as before.
Which... I don't really know how to feel about.
Which... I don't really know how to feel about.
Actually with a thousand years to work with he may well have gone universe traveling and seen MLP:FIM again anyway. That's a long, long time for stuff to happen.

Consider, though, that it was Luna that changed herself, not a third party.
I can't help but draw parallels between DC characters and the alicorns. Specifically, Shazam to Celestia and Teth Adom to Luna.
Teth Luna: "The status quo sucks! I'm going to make things better."
Princess Shazam: "I like the status quo. Any change to the status quo will involve imprisoning you beyond mortal reach for centuries on end."
Teth Luna: "NOOOOOOO!"
*arbitrarily long time later*
Paul: "Sup."
Teth Luna: "I hate Princess Shazam!"
Paul: "Neat. Mind focusing less on that, and more on being awesome for the people who live within your domain?"
Teth Luna: "...Revenge doesn't get me much, anyhow."

A little sad compared to canon. Very interesting though.
Wonder who Onik refers to?

wait... this is an actual british idiom?
huh. I thought that paul was going by the name anon in equestria because 4chan reference
So, he actually made things worse by trying to make them better. funny
Eh.
Lady has agency; if she chooses to change again as she gets older, it's her prerogative.
This is a species for whom a thousand year interregnum is considered normal after all.
If her sister wants to re-establish relations, hopefully on a more peer-like level, she already waited a thousand years; spending a century more should not be a big deal.
I certainly can see why Luna/Nightmare Moon might not want to go back to being Celestia's little sister.
Besides, Paul is a Discordian; disruption of the status quo is what he does.

she kinda has a point. Making drastic changes to your own mind can be dangerous as hell precisely because if the final result isn't what you intended you might not care. I think luna was hoping to be more assertive, not homicidal. She likely would be utterly horrified what the mare she turned herself into did.

I'm aware I'm just saying I prefer canon.
Weird that Celestia didn't comment on the fact that Paul is an Alicorn. Considering there are all of three in existence, one just appearing would be worth noting.

It's been hundreds of years at least. There have been thousands of Orange Lanterns of various names, most of whom won't have been canon characters.
Cadance didn't exist until season 2. And clearly she wasn't that big news.

In that case what OL is doing can be argued as just helping to correct her error and make the change work out like it was supposed to.
