Replying to Tarun

That is interesting. Are you saying the inclusion at some site @domain doesn’t do any real verification? If so, then it would seem that self verification via one’s own site (like GitHub pages) might be of better quality-especially if the GitHub account is well known.

Well, I'm not outright saying that. What I am saying is it doesn't really matter from the point of view from nostr itself - a nostr client just checks whether the nip-05 identity you put in your profile actually points back to your profile, and if it does, it calls you "verified". Nothing else.

Whether you as a person put more weight on a nostrplebs.com identity than on a "free-nostr-identities-for-all.com" identity is purely a social construct.

I'd like to point out though that there are now two people in this thread saying nostrplebs.com do verify account and there's a possiblity I'm wrong. I've reached out to Derek on Twitter on their procedure, because I'm geuinely interested and'll happily admit when I'm mistaken 🙂.
