Catastrophe meaning that something terrible happens that can't be put back into its former order, it can't be ''fixed'' as such, your only option is to live with the consequences and figure out a way forward. \n\nThere are 3 parts to this key-loss thing:\nWhat are the odds of it happening?\nWhat are the consequences if it happens?\nHow do you move forward when it happens?\n\nWe have ways and means to reduce the odds of it happening, we can think of ways to ease the path in moving forward. But my \"cry\" remark is in relation to the fact that we can't, i repeat, can not, take away the consequences of lost (or worse, stolen) keys as such. It sucks, it just sucks, as do many things in life (chiefly its ending). \n\nWhen people \"demand\" key-rotation, i sense that they demand ''we'' take away this potential for catastrophe, and i am not going to give 1 inch of leeway to that sentiment. We can discuss key management, we can discuss things like social recovery, but I have no time or patience for people that all the sudden have selective amnesia towards all the elements where those catastrophic risks exist in the things they use today, and all the sudden have made up that when it comes to Nostr it is a deal-breaker. \n\nTo be clear, this is also why i take the effort to point out that even though Nostr allows your to fight the risk of some third party Soviet-style removing your identity and content from history, it hands you back all the ways to shoot yourself in the foot instead. \n\nThere are a bunch of reasons why the latter is to be preferred over the former, one of them being that in the first scenario its a select few people holding that fate of billions of users in their hands; a level of power and responsibility that is a far more unhealthy architecture than one where from time to time small tragedies occur in the margin. \n\nMy feeling the only reason this is even a point of discussion is because we are honest when introducing this Nostr notion to people, whereas they probably never consciously considered all these things when signing up for Facebook at the time; if they would have, we probably would not have been in this platform mess to begin with"}
