Nostr Web Client

I feel like i’m taking crazy pills #asknostr

Why is it that, despite now common knowledge that there is a direct connection between a primal user’s KYC info (thanks to its wallet setup) and the user’s npub (their identity across *all* clients), there are people promoting primal as a way to onboard new people to nostr?

How is that not an instant deal breaker? What am i missing here? Is primal just straight up paying people to shill it, or am i misunderstanding something? What’s going on here 🤔

I genuinely don’t understand how that makes sense, assuming one’s goals involve the growth of freedom tech in any way, shape, or form. That just seems like elon’s Xitter™️ all over again. No good for the noobs being onboarded

Please enlighten me nostr 🙏

The freedom comes from not being locked in to any single client or relay. That same freedom provides you with the ability to use nostr without using Primal.

I understand that, which is why i am concerned people push noobs towards the client that associates their personal information with your npub

What do they do with that information? How do we know? Can they assure us it will never be leaked or hacked? I don’t imagine so

Why have you arrived at the conclusion that if somebody knows your name and email you are less free?

Literally don’t even know how to respond to this, so congrats i guess. Have a good day 🤙
