subjective is a lazy explanation for incomplete

It’s self inflicted and contagious. We are unfortunately doing it to each other. Secret plane? Why the hell not? We need answers!

In addition to a key being a tool for signing messages, it’s also synonymous in these circles with identity. The concept of a persons identity being disposable or irrecoverable are not congruent with lived experience (online or not)

Or theoretically nip-05 could support an array of keys owned by the user?

I’d argue the value is portability over custody. Custody is the liability you must accept to ensure portability. If someone chooses to trust a system like DNS to help them mitigate that risk, so be it. What is more likely… someone loses their key or a total takeover of DNS? Either way, using DNS + a .json file stored on a fileserver to map your keys to a username does not mean you have relinquished control of the keys. I could argue you have added resiliency and redundancy to the underlying keys without compromising their utility. If nostr can’t rely on the most basic aspects of the internet to function then it will remain a curiosity.

Right, I was just suggesting a method for maintaining a list of keys which admittedly does alter the definition of the user “identity” by externalizing it. Some will hate the idea, but eventually you’ll run into this exact same issue with key rotation. If you want consistency you can’t manage the system from within the system. Pointing this out will bring out others saying are disposable. 🤷
