In short, it is now easier than ever to log into web applications using your own website as an identity provider. Or at least, it would be, if your favorite web apps supported these agency-enhancing technologies.

yeah, ive read from some other corners nostr is really being abused by bad actors due to the same anonymity you seem to require of it.

nostr is basically not moderate-able, which is a non-starter for the rest of us who dont really give a shit about 5 9s of anonymity and are attempting to maintain communities of decent humans.

“I” seem to require? No. I’m deferring to the cypherpunk manifesto which rings true over and over again.

IMO, anonymity should be able to be switched on and off at will by the user. Selective disclosure using homomorphic encryption coupled with digital identity can achieve both, IMO.

In particular, businesses require anonymity in much of their chain of custody…and I think that’s fair.
