Until someone implements some way to rotate keys it just seems like a matter of time before an exploit in Firefox or smth like that causes a thousand people to permanently lose their accounts. That seems like a much bigger issue with NOSTR than theoretical censorship (which is solved by installing a web browser, and if someone can't figure that out, I don't particularly want to talk to them anyway.)

You can create a new account in 1 second Spammers use this neat little trick every second or every day
Actually, stupid me, I bet a lot of people aren't even using extensions to login, so probably all it takes for a mass hack on NOSTR is one new client who accidentally secures their server improperly, or for an impersonator to hang around for a few months.
