I've seen a lot of conversations about how #Nostr is where it's at and the solution to everything. Alas, that's not exactly the case.

As a #freedom tech that helps us escape censorship, shadow bans, and the like on mainstream platforms, Nostr is a killer. It's revolutionary. The fact that we can take everything with us across the Nostr universe (Primal, Amethyst, Damus, etc.) is amazing and will hopefully become the standard for all moving forward.

As some others have started to point out though, Nostr cannot currently serve as a #privacy or #anonymity tool. It's simply not built for it, and we need to realize that that's okay. We have #Signal, #SimpleX chat, and similar tools, each offering different degrees of privacy for different use cases. Could we someday make an integration between these? Hopefully so, but for now we need to realize that Nostr offers us freedom to communicate, to publish, to zap, and so much more. Appreciate it for what it is, but don't pretend it's something that it's not.
