Is it possible to use bitchat without doxing presice location and if not is everyone cool with that?

Honest question, because much effort was spent educating new users about the need to run a VPN on nostr.

No one seems to care about this at all

Yeah... (sigh...)

Bitchat doesnt dox your location. You can visit any geohash you like.

Why do we need to use a VPN on Nostr? Your ISP wouldn’t be able to see your private keys even if you don’t use a VPN, because Damus doesn’t collect user data so running a VPN only blocks ISP from seeing that Damus has been accessed, right?

Do we really need a vpn

Honest question?

Probably a good idea. But for sure not all VPNs are created equal, in fact some are absolute trash or worse.

I've never run bitchat at home with location services on. This limits how frequently I am able to play with it.

Am I paranoid? Yeah slightly but I don't think the risk is insignificant.

My thoughts as well
