Replying to nostrnormie

I am not even a tech person, and remember 20 years ago using ip addresses to see who was reading my live journal. How is it that on a protocol like nostr, where there are so many nyms, ip addresses are so easily exposed? Seems like a big deal.

Does privacy even exist anymore?

If you're a nym on Nostr and care about privacy, then you're probably using TOR or a VPN. And if you're not, then you're not as anonymous as you thought that you were.

That sucks. As I said earlier, as a normie, this would 100% be a deterrent for me using nostr. I’m using it because I believe in the technology (content is not there yet), but this technology where you have to use an extra layer of protection, or assume doxxing , is not one I agree with
