I’m old enough to remember when a few prominent nostr users were pushing for people to dox themselves on nostr in an effort to make nostr feel more “noob friendly.”

I don't remember that at all. Interesting.
It was in conjunction with a push to “de-bitcoin” user profiles for the same reason
Hmm. I remember part of that I guess. I took away my laser eyes around the same time but that was mostly because no one at Nostrica knew who I was with my old avatar.
It’s a push that comes up occasionally, even before nostr. It came up on Twitter from time to time too. Pseudonyms and anon pfps are supposedly the boogie man that keeps nostr and bitcoin from achieving mainstream success
Sure, blame me that nostr isn't a household word.
The only people pushing for no nyms are spooks.
I could share a screenshot of at least one prominent nostr user who was pushing for it who actually did dox his photo at the time and now is preaching the value of anonymity

Also you are signal nym
Don’t do that. If you are anon stay anon. There should be both. I was already pubic and doxxed so it was an easier decision. Anons will be the glue that holds everything together.
💯 npubs are easy enough to spin up. Maintaining separate anon and a doxxed profiles if that’s what you need is easy to do.
I’m thinking about going full anon soon ngl
I support that 100%.
... just publish your nym, so I can follow you again. 😉
Nah my best friend doesn’t even know what it is. That’s the point.
give Carl his own npub to keep the pics coming
It will be “Farl” with a mustache on Carl 😂

Yesssss I love making pfp disguises 😂😂
