I do run a relay. I'm only giving them the data that I want to be public. It's night and day different. I don't think you understand how much an app like TikTok or Facebook spy on you...

Yeah I understand that’s why I don’t install them on my mobile. #nostr still has many flaws that can be abused by many abusers, like spammers. Watchers can see all you query or see. I can query your PM metadata. Just to list some of the weakness.
I just don't agree with the classifications of "flaws" and/or "abuse". Both are misleading and inaccurate.
They insinuate something was promised and not delivered or that something is broken.
When your client publishes unencrypted data to a relay, that information is public. People will consume, query, and datamine public information you publish to the internet. That's no more a flaw than "if you scream something out your window, your neighbors might listen". It's just the reality of the activity your engaging in.
On Nostr, I decide what I want to scream out my window. The decision isn't made for me by some mega-corp.
