Can you stop recommending Primal? They lack the ethos in my opinion that Nostr community is about. They ask for KYC type info to use their built-in wallet, and they don't support using Amber and instead require you to trust them with your nsec.

That’s not KYC. KYC is the company asking for verifiable id documents that they actually verify. Asking for an email is not KYC. The email part is the only one that needs to be valid, and of course you don’t have to use your personal email.
I tried once using a valid email alias in Proton but with a fake name. I got an automated email that they couldn't verify me. I also tried with my regular email, real name, but fake birth date and incorrect US state. That also lead to a failed verification. If they ask are asking for all that information and validating the correctness of it, then yes that is a form of KYC.
They are not. I used an email alias and fake info.
Just because you don't want something to be true doesn't mean it isn't. I'm happy for you if your experience was somehow different, but I've read posts from a number of others that align with my experience.
Just because you want something to be true doesn’t mean it is. I hope you find something you like.
Bud, the fact of the matter is that Primal wallet is a custodial wallet and by requesting personal information (which they then validate), they are performing KYC. Have a read of their terms on their Hosted Wallet Service (provided by Strike). https://primal.net/terms
You don’t know what KYC is, man. An email is not KYC.
