It feels a bit weird, but that’s not my main complaint (though IMO NOSTR would grow a lot faster were there more real names attached.)

My main complaint is that while private communications and life details should remain private, public square posts should be with names attached to the extent we want a robust public square and to beat back censorship.

And yes, it’s true anyone can pose as a real-life person while faking it, but I’m more talking about nyms who are obviously real people and encouraging them to post under their real names. The issue of verifying that is separate, though obviously important in that case.

I love the platform, BTW — just think now that we have this freedom tech, it’s the time to stand up for the courage of our convictions in the open.
