nostr differs from how similar services on the internet work in that the data is both much public and distributed across servers run by different people. Any one of those server operators could potentially try to violate user privacy.
It's not really singling out nostr, just stating facts.
true. although nostr is still a service where we can hope is decentralized enough to still be allowed to even use vpn.. bigtech services are all implementing vpn blocklists, tearing down that last semblance of privacy. (and cloudflare fogettaboutit)
Also you can just encrypt stuff, in a way that it's impossible for even relays to know who is whom, as long as you use a VPN. I don't think why we are deliberately underselling this, probably because it doesn't meet an imaginary gold standard.
