Nostr Web Client

Pubky allows you to prove "what's yours" based on the homeserver you control (tied to your ID). This gets around the problem of events forever out there that are signed by you but that didn't in fact come from you, which can happen on nostr if you expose your nsec, leave your laptop around, etc.

That's a soft definition of "proof", and it makes censoring one person as easy as pwning their home server or messing with their ISP

I dunno what to tell you, that's just flat-out factually wrong. Read all the articles in this blog, you'll soon figure out why what you said results from a fundamental misunderstanding of how things *actually* work.

I'm happy to engage with arguments, but "go read all these things" is some else's homework.

If the definition of "what you have said" is the contents of a computer, then:

- Your ISP can remove you from the network

- Anyone else's ISP can remove you from their network

- Your server dying will remove you from the network

- Malware or a hack can arbitrarily change what you have "said"

There is no censorship resistance in this

That blog (just a few posts as of now, 15 min read) explains all this as efficiently as it can be explained. I'm not going to rewrite it here.

You assume that I didn't actually read it and fundamentally disagree with its assertions
