Replying to Avatar Mike Dilger ☑️

Nostr is about publicity, not privacy. Everything you post is public. Intelligence agencies around the world suck it up and feed it into AI systems that build dossiers about you minable with xkeyscore or whatever. There is no privacy on nostr. Nostr is about being public, being heard and not being censored.

If you want anonymity, you can get that with a VPN or with Tor. These solutions were purpose-built for anonymity. Get your anonymity from those layers, not from nostr. Nostr cannot provide anonymity and it shouldn't try to do something that it would fail at badly.

So this critique is a big nothing-burger.

Maybe clients should give a disclaimer to people that they will be connecting to different "servers" because nostr is decentralized and those servers can see their IP address, so they should consider using a VPN
