Have you ever tried posting a pseudonym with an avatar that reveals nothing about you're identity?
Discussion
No I started on here almost a month ago using my picture and name thinking it was similar to other social media, which I learned it’s not. I just wanted to be me and be accepted for that, not feel like I have to hide behind a fake name/picture to protect myself. I dont know if that makes sense.
Nostr should be the most true that you can be. You can't be censored and you're in control of your content and feed. Do you feel like you can't be yourself?
I can be myself but then have to deal with the consequences of that. Like my example of posting a selfie and then getting told I deserve to be treated poorly for it. Or having a person asking when they can fly to see me. Or that I should kill myself. Or the guys that act totally genuine just to completely take advantage of me. I feel like I can be myself but I dont know that the consequences are worth it 😕
At least you can fight back as viciously as you want to and not worry about getting banned for it.
her entire point is that she shouldn't have to do that
THANK YOU!!
I don't disagree.
I guess I prefer the cypherpunk strategy.
For example, the U.S. government should not attack our privacy, but that's a moot point.
The U.S. government does attack our privacy. Protesting the government for a redress of our grievances is unlikely to accomplish our goals. **It shouldn't be that way, but it is**.
Therefore, it makes sense to create tools that make it impossible to attack our privacy.
In the same way, if people attack you because of your identity, it makes sense to hide your identity.
Again, this is not how I wish the world to be, but it is the world I see.
