Why wouldn’t it solve the issue if she verified to the website we all know is hers? It would immediately separate her from the imposters.

“We all know?” … and if “we” don’t know her website?… and what about an influencer without a domain… or a way to attach nip05 to it? … these people exists and they are stuck with a paid nip05… which verifies nothing for the end user.
So no… in addition to my points above… nip05 alone is not a solution to remedy imposter accounts.
If Google wanted an official account then no one would be confused at a nip-05 verification there.
Lyn, presumably, has people who are familiar with her. With her website and blogs. So verifying there is a wonderfully simple solution. Yes, a random person might mistake a different nip-05 verified account just like a lot of people mistake parody accounts for real account through other social media mediums.
An influencer without a domain can publish their npub on any of their other accounts to verify that it’s them. Seems simple enough.
Aside from public figures, I can’t think of a better way to verify yourself while maintaining anonymity than nip-05.
Either nostr is for everybody, or it dies a slow death. None of your reasoning fits the “for everybody” test.
All respect. But if you don’t get it by now…
LOL. “It’s for everybody or it dies a slow death” is a false hypothesis that I don’t agree with.
Nostr is the best working example we have of anonymous, censorship-free social media. That will ALWAYS come with trade offs, but it should perfect its foundational principles first. Otherwise, I’m just going to use X the second it panders to the lowest common denominator (people who can’t bother to verify nip-05 before they take things at face value. No, nostrpurple hardly counts beyond a badge).
Thanks for patronizing me though.
