Nostr relays will transform from randomly drifting feeders, to scavengers, to predators.

Ominous.

Quite.

“My relay has the best notes. Only the best notes. No other relay has anything like it. People are saying there’s no other relay like it. It’s really incredible”

Uge!

Relays are the apex predators of legacy social media

APEX PREDATORVS

Police enforcement relays. They hunt for notes to build a case against you. You don't subscribe to them ; they subscribe to you. Is this realistic?

If your notes are public, why not.

The trick is to link the npub to the actual person.

That's why I didn't even get on nostr until I had grapheneos and a bit of confidence in using Tor. What does the turtle emoji mean? I know I'm slow, sheesh...

Doesn't mean anything. It's just a turtle.

Being anonymous and using encryption gets you a lot of the way to privacy. Tor is an added bonus. VPNs are a must.

In what way should I be using encryption? That is definitely an area where I need to improve.

You already do, for the most part. When you use HTTPS or WSS (on your Nostr relays) that last S stands for Secure. So your data is all encrypted.
