After a bad news that many of us received a few days ago, I'm thinking about measuring much more what I share with others, especially those who don't show their real identity (like me by the way 🤣)
What do you think #nostr? Show who we really are or assume that behind some pseudonym there are people you would not like to meet in real life? 🧐
#asknostr
What’s the bad news
+1
Alleged information regarding the identity of a pubkey
Hmm. If you attended any conference you’d probably know a lot of people by name irl
Yes, I know that. I mean the vast majority of pubkeys will never go to a conference.
setup other npubs for other roles. those who posted selfie didn't matter much. pretty easy to dig outside nostr now days
I don't feel comfortable using multiple pubkeys. I have my pubkey with my real name around, but I have never really used it.
that's fine - well there many reasons to multiple npub for other different reasons testing or using from insure device or any other purpose than we are discussing. some people just happy reveal all info anyway so no big deal to know who they are. in fact there many indirect ways co-relate npub to someone u meet.
Remain pseudonymous and avoid conferences imo. There is no benefit to doxxing yourself and to me the conferences seem to be a big waste of money. Stack the sats instead and watch the stream on YouTube if you want.
I’m personally bored of all the Bitcoin talks. I’ve heard it all. I hit a saturation point awhile back.
Interesting point of view. Personally, keeping Quentin is an effort for me not to "mix" my two lives, everything would be easier if I only had one identity
That’s fair. Just my opinion but I understand those who want to establish who they are on Nostr too.
Makes it a more of a viable alternative to Facebook and/or instagram where you can point friends / family to have interactions free from Big Tech™️ surveillance.
What happened a few days ago? 👀👀
Alleged information regarding the identity of a pubkey
🤔🤔any more details lol? did we find Barron Trump's secret nostr account or something?
oh what drama did i miss?
It does not really matter
Why are we always the last to know? 😤
And we still have no idea what he's on about 😤
I need to hang out with the cool kids more. You guys suck. No offence.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can someone explain what is going on here? #asknostr within #asknostr
Is it something we need to worry about lol?
No, it has nothing to do with Nostr.
Is it like the social engineering bitcoin hacker podcast thing? That sorta thing, maybe. I'll just be cautious and paranoid everywhere as usual lol😹
Being #doxxed was a personal choice for me. I wanted to open my life up to greater scrutiny by this community and let my online presence be backed by an irl person.
That being said, I don’t want to live in a world where everyone is doxxed. There’s a need for anonymous voices to continue to beat the drum under the covering of a pseudonym.
Interesting, and did you do the reflection before creating your profile on nostr? Or did you take it later?
I started off with a pseudonym on here and then doxxed myself once I started meeting folks from #nostr irl. I wasn’t posting anything on here I wouldn’t share with my neighbor, so it made sense.
Worst that could happen is that harm comes to me or my family based on the convictions we carry - but I and my household are happy to die by our convictions, for it’s by our convictions we are able to actually live.
nostr:npub1p5ryszcvdca78jdp5ewhu67zpyfz042m7nrha6mqx7a8wakrqrkqre5ksj what made you join the #doxxedgang
I like you guys so I decided to show my face
I like the way you think, I'm considering doing the same thing.
pseudonym is famous npubs can be revealed in many ways - esp if person wants to
There's pros and cons to both. Your natural self is a good way to build a network of known friends and easily share the good things in life.
There's good reasons to use an alias, too. Depending on where you are from and what kind of information you share.
💪🏽💪🏽
There are people IRL like that, too.
Also I don’t know, some people here I would want to meet IRL but others not so much….
Maybe one day I'd make a npub with a real picture, show my face.. but I see no reason yet after the facebook experience. It would only be to go back to how it was at the fb beginning. Befriend people online after I meet them in real life.
Hopefully nostr will come up with a more private style client so you get to choose to accept/reject people that wish to follow you, before they get to see what you post..
