Well said. There are really some abominable security practices out there. And much of the anti establishment attitude and "rebel dev" self-promotion does enough to cover it up and create a sense of false security in the community.

that's concerning 😱🙄
I do see a lot of devs self-promotion here but that is not a problem though as long as the app covers non-functional requirements eg security 😬 — it does what it says on the tin too
To be fair, security is hard and nobody or organization is perfect, including me.
And nothing wrong with self promotion, especially in open source where funding is scarce or non-existent. But too much overconfidence can be misleading to self and others.
💯 agree. I support self-promotion. this thread started with curiosity and now it is turning into a much bigger critical conversation for nostr if we truly want this to grow and get adapted universally.
I raised questions so I can reach out to the right people. 🤔☺️
