what if you aren't running your own server? I just downloaded the app

The default servers are all through Tor which also gives good privacy assurances.

You can use my server, many Nostriches are on it

Thanks that's very generous.

Is it wise to join just anyone's server or should one use discretion?

What are the risks?

I have a knowledge gap here! Thank you!

I’d love to know more about this as well šŸ‘€

I don't know enough to say for sure, but as far as I can tell servers can't see your messages or metadata even if they tried, that said I only use servers from other Nostriches, nostr:npub1y3uh89v5a4vq92t8q0j6su94zhvcdxpywjn3l6hpsr5welarqtrqj7yzhd runs one too which I use
