There are designs for social networks with encrypted messages (you encrypt, with a different key, to every follower you have individually). Similar to lnurl invoicing requests…

BTW, I did ask fiatjaf to add that feature and allow people to rotate key s in every message. It would be a very simple change. He rejected: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/126

But they're for different things in Nostr my pubkey is my identity I want all my posts linked to. Its not like bitcoin where I don't want transactions linked.  And in the cases where I do want unlinked identities, just generate a new pub key.

What if the default was unliked messages for everybody and only your followers can put them together? This is possible. It was a choice to reuse the public key.

I think that introduces a lot of complexity, that I don't really see the benefit to. Especially when a big advantage of nostr is its simplicity.

Maybe, maybe not. There are simple designs for post-ID linkage using IPFS (sign list of hashes). Nothing too far from where nostr is.
