Hey guys … um…HELL NO!!
Account creation is THE GATEWAY for ALL KYC LAWS. Signers NEED TO REMAIN distinct apps that DO NOT otherwise process events … in order to keep “social apps” distinct and every app immune from prosecution.
The solution will not be simple, but we MUST prevail!!
The average user will not do this.
nostr:npub1uf9gd9pax7534dy96mu603nqjlp9mht8az73ka0dy54rcfnvlxasumv8xc already does this … albeit a bit rough. I’m working to improve this flow … and add “remote key generation” with “redirect back to requesting client” as a nip for any client to make use of when creating new accounts.

they're winning. the benefits are just not evenly distributed.
Which I agree is a shame and its why I said we should meet people halfway.
The average user (globally) is literally 89 IQ. Many can barely read, write, or perform basic arithmetic. They're overwhelmed by email. In
We might just need to make less-secure and more-censorable Simple Nostr apps for them, that just traps them in a nanny-company offering, and Advanced Nostr for the rest of us.
Those are two different markets.
I buy you a beer and we can talk about it. ⚡️🍻
