You'd have to change the npub too, so maybe through some sort of account migration feature to let you migrate your info/followers to a new npub and nsec pair.

I’ve been careful with who I give my keys to since I switched to this new account, but I’m thinking of switching again and only giving my privkey to Mona’s Iris instance.
I think it’s whatever as long as you don’t rely on DMs to be private
Theoretically someone running a client could leak your keys and anyone could impersonate you, which will definitely happen to careless ecelebs if Nostr scales up. In that regard Fedi is definitely more secure right now.
Newfags probably shouldn’t be expected to know how risky it is to put your private key into any given client. But the devs do seem to be looking into improving this so hopefully it’s not an issue for long.
It wouldn’t even have to be malicious btw. These clients are updating haphazardly and presumably without much security review. Expect hacks down the road.
Security is actually a good reason to use Soapbox once Alex gets it running on Nostr cause at the end of the day it has to suit Truth social and it’s probably getting semi-regular audits.
No lol, they would basically be able to change your account and say anything as if they were you and no one could tell. That's why I'm concerned about it
