you are not following a person, nor an account
just a key
Discussion
Mind blowing. “I want all events signed by this list of keys from this set of relays.” That’s it. 🤯
and you have no way to verify who's actually even responding to you right now using this key
is it tanel, or somebody else with this key
maybe tanel's a key owned by multiple people
The key (no pun intended) is ownership and control. Someone, or some group, owns and controls a key. That key can cryptographically sign messages, and no company or entity can use or block that key from doing so. At best, some may prevent your events from appearing on their relays or clients, but that’s it.
As we've seen recently, we also have no way to verify that "personalized" social media is really being sent by that person.
Nostr just doesn't pretend otherwise.
I follow the keys used by the best people right now!
