Just a reminder, many people on Nostr believe that solving the decentralized naming problem perfectly is impossible - so we should not even try to come up with an almost perfect.
I think we need names, we need to break free of IANA, even if it's imperfect and SOME trust is involved. Handshake.org did it, although there is a shitcoin involved in it. There must be other ways.
yes!
nostr will do it with other things, probably fucking pubkeys, because fuck you, that's why
also, many on nostr don't understand simple things like that auth isn't doxxing yourself when you chose to fucking connect to the fucking relay
so, they are advising me under advisement
Depends on how you define doxxing.
the misunderstanding they have is that you can be 100% certain which npub is requesting for events by the filters preponderance of one specific npub in it
this would be the same npub that would appear in an auth event
so it's very unlikely a malicious relay can't figure out which npub is behind a connection, or in other words, if you actually are concerned about not revealing which npub you are using you should strictly use tor so there is no IP/npub correlation being built up, as this locates a person to whatever IP address they appear to be connecting from
auth, or no auth, it makes no effective difference, the protocol requires you to identify yourself, one way or another, if you want to see events where people have tagged you or replied to you
the only other people who would do this are spying on you, also, that's not a big anonymity set haha
