Okay, serious question to #asknostr

I’m a big believer in authenticity, being yourself, and being honest with the people you care about.

I’ve also been exploring the world of digital identity and how it overlaps with privacy.

I’ve come to care for a great many of you here, and setting up alt accounts feels a little disingenuous, even though it’s done in good faith/with good intentions.

I’m new to this. How do you all approach it?

Would love to hear your opinions, best practices, and more on the philosophy of anonymity 😎

Hm, also, here’s an additional thought:

On Nostr, anon accounts work better than any other social media, because of zaps.

You’re still incentivized to post good content, be respectful, build rapport, etc.

Being a belligerent jerk or a bot is way more of a waste on Nostr than on Twitter, for example.

Agree on many of those points!

My concern/curiosity is around having multiple accounts. Maybe with different levels of person detail, for example.

My main account has some “generic” personal details but no pfp for example.

In any case I like testing different clients with different nsecs and I’m just curious about the best practices for nym accounts in general.

Thanks for your thoughts 🙏
