There's privacy at the app layer (nostr identity)

There's no privacy at the connectivity layer (IP address)

Not even. They just use random keys. That's not privacy. That's annonimity. You can still track the keys.

Track the keys with the IP, you mean?

Or with just reuse, nickname matching, timestamp mapping.. there are so many ways to deannonimize things

But metadata (nickname, timestamp, etc) in a public chat is precisely public, not private.

🙄

It's easy to track who is active where and when, between Nostr and BitChat and figure out who might be who. There are AIs who are designed to crunch that data.

Anon publishing is only effective, if you use it sparingly and rarely, so that you don't leave a data trail.

Isn't Bitchat E2EE?

Not this nostr ephemeral event part.
