Replying to nobody

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.
