But nostr doesn’t yet have IP privacy. I worry that people might think it’s private when it’s not.
We will need to add something like this: https://veilid.com/
this is why nyms & personal privacy are essential.
this is why #nostr is here.

Good point. A VPN is a must
you can use tor or vpn with nostr
Yes, something like that. Needs to be built in and automatic.
ideally a nostr app adds p2p that works well
This is my struggle with nostr. Nostr works really well as a broadcast protocol, sending one-to-many. It’s simple but has no P2P options.
For example, DMs on nostr are not private. All the relays you use can see that two people are communicating, even if those relays can’t read the messages. Also, the history and timing of your commutations are public and can be stored by malicious parties indefinitely.
So basically, nostr is better than centralized platforms, but it remains unclear how it will fare against totalitarian governments who can figure out who you are by your IP address and see who you’re communicating with.
