Nostr Web Client

You can have as many npubs as you want, having as many personas as you'd like.

I feel that people are more authentic on Nostr than anywhere else, because we feel free to be ourselves.

Sometimes I am professional and helpful and other times I'm laughing my ass off shitposting. It's all me! I don't fit inside one box!

I've thought about being completely anonymous before, many times actually. But a while ago someone told me that sometimes it's good for some people to step out from the shadows and let others know that Nostr isn't just scary shadowy super codes and anons. It's real people. So, I said fuck it.

This is who I am.

Having multiple npubs is definitely a powerful lever to pull if you want to spread out your digital footprint.

I am100% authentic with what and how I post but it’s always guard railed with anonymity and privacy.

A good example of this is posting a note about my dog with a photo. Sounds simple! But these are the thoughts that go through my head:

- is her ID tag visible revealing private details

- is my home or the home of someone I love in the background

- is there metadata within this photo that will reveal my identity

- am I posting this photo to attract attention or am I posting to share the love I have for my dog?

- if I DOX myself or worse still, DOX a family member, was it worth it to show a photo of my dog?

- Am I being my genuine self contemplating these things ?

- $5 wrench attack?

I would love to be where you are at right now on your nostr journey but until then I think I need to work on some self awareness and self discovery!

i wasn't advocating for you to be doxxed, i was merely saying that's why i stay doxxed. it's not for everyone that's for sure. it has it's own headaches. sorry if i said something confusing! i didn't mean to do that. as for some of the things you mentioned, i do these things too. my dog has our phone number very largely on his collar. it's always showing whenever i take a picture of him, which is why i rarely share pics of him 😟

No! I totally understood what you meant :) I was just trying to share a train of thought that runs parallel to the topic. My apologies if my ramblings caused confusion :)

My fear of doxxing my family by accident does dictate what I share on nostr and online but maybe that’s normal and not a real impediment to being your genuine self. Just a thought :)
