Would a client-side rule/UI feature help here?
- allow only one npub per username
- show if a user is active on Damus
It wouldn’t solve the NIP-05 or pfp imitators, but the handle is visible on a note and if it’s the handle I *know* is yours, then between two Damus users there is verifiability without reviewing a profiler’s history.
Not sure whether the above is possible, or what drawbacks it might bring…
You could lock user name changes once selected, but that would not stop you from changing your username on another client. That’s the benefit of centralized identities is that you can do a lot to limit “bad” behavior.
Anything client side can just be voided by using another client :(
