Being anonymous paints an incomplete picture and allows the reader to fill in the missing parts.
We are proving that we don’t need to expose, or sell our entire lives, to make an impact online.

You mean I need to be more secretive and more anonymously on here? 🤔
No. You have the perfect balance 😁
Just enough mystery…..
Didn’t think there was any mystery to me 😂
I don’t know anything. I’ve painted in many parts 😂.
Really? Like what? 😂🤔
There are a few things I know: you’ve got a business, youre Australian, you like to relax and have fun when you’re not working, you have a son, you love to curse and enjoy banter. You’re generous with your time on here.
Parts I don’t know: any more children, married, where in Australia, whe re you grew up, what you love to do outside of nostr and work, what brought you here…and many other unanswered questions, that I think are better left as a mystery 🤷♂️
Wow, great questions that no one here has every asked me!
The only reason people don’t know is only due to the fact that I’ve not been asked, I have no mystery I am an open book.
I could answer these, but I won’t as you said you would prefer the mystery of it so I shall leave it up to your imagination or I will tell you in person when we finally meet over a glass of wine 🍷 or scotch 🥃
Being an open book is wonderful and I bet you will get a lot questions now 😂
And yes, I look forward to that as well. After a few drinks, I would like to re enact our first nest together with you a frog 😂
You know that 1st nest together is in my top 3 most memorable moments on Nostr!
That is something that can never be recreated again, it was a very unique and an entertaining moment in time. I’m sure #[3] would agree, as much as we give each other a lot of banter it certainly remains in my top 3 moments here! 😂💩😂
Definitely. We’re here for the shits and giggles right? Life on the outside can be a lot, and it’s nice to be able to go to a place where it’s “easy”.
Oh wow.
Do me next!!
I know a little more about gorgeous Alice to do this, but Wolf 🐺 you do what you imagine of her 🤔
Alice: a trickster. Likes to play around and confuse people in a fun and interesting way. Keeps people on their toes. Married has kids and lives in the eastern US. Likes to laugh at herself and at the things around her.
What I don’t know: pretty much everything else 😁 Why Alice? Does she enjoy going down rabbit holes? Yes, she loves weird whimsical and magical things. Loves a good conspiracy. Loves twirling and tea parties.
Wow that’s brilliant 🤔
I’m intrigued…
Go.
Originally, being anonymous online was how everyone participated in the great meritocracy that was the early Internet. Someone who did clever or funny things, created useful tools, or solved problems, was judged solely on that, and not based on their age, gender, or appearance.
Today this seems even more important as everything someone says, and everything in our lives becomes a matter of public record. It is harder than ever for people to shed a less than great past, overcome stereotypes, or express dissidence without exposing themselves to persecution.
There is a flip side of bad actors who you anonymity as a mechanism to be nasty with no consequences. This grieves me a great deal, because I value my anonymity for a multitude of reasons, and have tried to conduct myself in a way that speaks for itself, but their behavior makes defending anonymity more difficult.
I hope as Nostr continues to develop more and better tools for users to curate their feed that the value proposition of online anonymity becomes clearer.
