any other anon #nostriches toying with the idea of joining #nostr as their real self? I’ve always done social media from behind the cloak, but the vibe here inspires hardcore #authenticity which I think can only be fully realized by introducing one’s real self, and interacting with others as such. The pull is strong. I have made contributions to the cryptography community in my published writings (straight cryptography, no blockchain), but I’m still fearful of exposing myself as a toxic bitcoiner to the world (judgement, employment issues, home invasions, ransom problems with family members,etc) lol. Anyone? #asknostr

I am on here as my real self and people still aren't authentic with me at all. Even GrapheneOS spent dozens of comments the other day calling me a "pathological liar," "serial fabricator," "equivalent to a spam bot," etc. (with no examples to back up the accusations, mind ye)

I guess by ‘real self’ I mean: your actual name and photos of your actual human self’s face in your profile. A bio that describes your real life, job and hobbies, etc

My bio describes my real life, job and hobbies (worrying about Digit all the time). My actual name and photos of my face can be found in at least one link I've posted before but my gangstalkers will post info about who I am more and more often the more engagement I get, so I mostly leave it up to them - for example, GrapheneOS posting links to my X account on nostr.
