I love nostr I really do but I absolutely hate how some developers think to spread terrible opsec among their users until those bad practices turn into habits and ultimately lead to loss. Loss of npub, loss of sats, loss of privacy... why? Doesn't matte if that is by prompting people to paste private keys into web forms, adding 3rd party custodian wallets to their app or by suggesting the reuse of on-chain addresses for zaps. Stop it already.

i feel like this has changed a lot because of AI.. for me amethyst always felt like the "serious" implemented client compared to all the "vibecoded" stuff... but it feels like that is changing..
Maybe. But just to be clear I'm not singling out any specific clients here. Nourishing bad practices has been a thing around here since day one.
