Didnt work for fiatjaf, so it's not going to work for a normie.

Im sure fiatjaf would have tightened up his practices a bit had he known he would be targeted. Normies couldnt care less and will never consider their problems a symptom of their laxity, however, a well thought out threat model and privacy practices will do more than you suspect. Its tough though, ive had this account for less than a week and have already had 3 accidental leaks, whether that be vpn downtime, non anonymous tips through an old kyc wallet, geolocation,etc.

It's a very tough ask, and beyond the skill of a normie, who doesnt want to be educated. The issue is that nostr is marketed as freedom tech so normies will have a false sense of security, and do or say things on nostr that they might not elsewhere. In this regard, nostr may harm them more than it helps.

What happened to fiatjaf? he just posted recently

He probably means that he got doxxed.

Ah I didn't even know about this, but he goes to brazillian podcasts with his real voice frequently, that happened to basedbeffjezos on X as well due to talking in public spaces

Without Tor and/or VPN? Just making a new npub won't protect you either. Nostr was not designed with privacy in mind. You have to do that outside of Nostr to be even remotely effective.

Correct, I was thinking to use Nostr with Tor.
