Some people seem to pitch Nostr as a privacy tool, but isn't it kind of a bad idea to spread your IP address to 10 relays at once?
It even creates plausible deniability for any of these relays if they decide to dox a user.

Those people should know better. Security and opsec have different gradients.
I hope no one is pitching it as a privacy tool! At least in current form or without other tools…
A good VPN will help. Like Mullvad, where you can subscribe anonymously. And a pseudonym. That should definitely help.
I'm actually more concerned with censorship at the DNS level.
BTW zapping you does not work
Amethyst works great connected to .
onion relays.
You can also easily run one of those and maybe a bouncer like bostr2 to broadcast to many others.
Privacy goes up, mobile data usage goes down.
Otherwise you are right, social media and a broadcast network is not about privacy, but to know about others and be heard freely.
