Subnostr

Not about you. The Corace promo video says nostr is private. Nostr isn't private. That's misleading.

Amethyst github says it well and saves me some typing :)

"Relays know your IP address, your name, your location (guessed from IP), your pub key, all your contacts, and other relays, and can read every action you do (post, like, boost, quote, report, etc) except for Private Zaps and Private DMs. While the content of direct messages (DMs) is only visible to you and your DM counterparty, everyone can see when you and your counterparty DM each other.

If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN or Tor) from trackers online.

The relay also learns which public keys you are requesting, meaning your public key will be tied to your IP address.

Information shared on Nostr can be re-broadcasted to other servers and should be assumed permanent for privacy purposes. There is no way to guarantee the deletion of any content once posted."

I was always aware of this, I didn't understand what it was about with my invitation to the #Art group, which by the way isn't even private 🤭

NOTHING to do with you, my friend. I followed your link to the video :) You are amazing and I'm sure Coracle is a cool place to have an art group. It's when people say Nostr is private that I take issue. It sets unrealistic expectations. The Nostr protocol is not private by default. The same OPSEC applies here as it does to anywhere else on the web. Decentralized, yes. Free speech, yes. Awesome, yes. Private, no.
