Nostr Web Client

Why this is important: in damus, the purple icon next to peoples name is supposed to protect against impersonation, nip05 or not. If you follow people who start impersonating then that icon is no longer useful. This is why it’s pretty important to unfollow people who impersonate people. This is why I have a zero tolerance policy for people I follow who do this, the icon means nothing otherwise. nostr:note16jygc35upvss4lrmy7w4yvkv2utzewqemhszc4ptffxatn3scapsg6vme9

Can someone send a screenshot of Wills profile on Damus? I'm curious.

On Amethyst there's a follow check mark on the user's profile picture that helps me because if I get messaged by a fake account and I know it's someone I follow I know immediately it's not them. I like the check mark in the nip-05 field because that lets me know they are affiliated/verified with that domain (if it's a personal domain.) It's less meaningful and effective with the pay to identify sites.

Is there a way to see if you are following an account when scrolling in the universal feed? Or do you have to click the profile to see if you are following them?

Yeah it’s a purple friend symbol

The full domain is not shown on events, damus assumes you wouldn’t follow people who impersonate others. A purple badge or WoT icon is shown on people you follow. The user profile shows the full nostr address.
