San Junipero here we come π
that's definitely something to think about. one day (not so lomg from now) we will be able to carry on conversations with deceased loved ones by combining user data (likes, dislikes, ideologies etc from their digital lifetime or based on manual input or both with ai voice/chat tech)
Oof. any idea why?
Remember:
Protect your #Nostr private key on desktop browsers, use extension #nos2x:

Or use #Getalby extension https://getalby.com/
the get alby extension also works great on tor browser #infosec
great question. simplex is decentralized and there aren't any persistent ids (global identity), you have chat profiles that can be deleted at any time and incognito mode (which protects the privacy of your main chat profile...which can also be deleted at any time).
as i see it, the main privacy disadvantage of making one's simplex chat address public would be in possibly tying that chat link or chat profile contact qr to one's identity (for example, sending the invite from an account tied to one's real name) via the means of distribution etc.
however, that chat and that profile is just one of many possible (there's no global identity) so as long as the user's ip address is hidden by connecting to simplex servers through tor (in settings), then the ip cannot be tied to the user so only that chat and user id would (in this hypothetical scenario) be associated.
the other chats and chat profiles would not be tied to the 'public' chat or chat profile so they would remain unassociated.
make sense?
a user can always delete their invite qr (one time use or persistent) and change their identities (or go incognito) while retaining their contacts

Here is a blurb that you may or may not have read yet...but i feel is useful.
'SimpleX protects the privacy of your profile, contacts and metadata, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and any observers.
Unlike other messaging platforms, SimpleX has no identifiers assigned to the users. It does not rely on phone numbers, domain-based addresses (like email or XMPP), usernames, public keys or even random numbers to identify its users β we don't know how many people use our SimpleX servers.
To deliver messages SimpleX uses pairwise anonymous addresses of unidirectional message queues, separate for received and sent messages, usually via different servers. Using SimpleX is like having a different βburnerβ email or phone for each contact, and no hassle to manage them.
This design protects the privacy of who you are communicating with, hiding it from SimpleX platform servers and from any observers. To hide your IP address from the servers, you can connect to SimpleX servers via Tor.'

p.s. you can hide or mute chat profiles, just long press the profile for the menu π€π»π
works for me, you have a second or two to press it. it's been good for accidental sends
awesome! it's good stuff. feel free to reply and let me know what you think
This new DM bot is giving everyone a good dose of just how much can be gleaned by analyzing unencrypted metadata over a period of time
Don't have sensitive conversations in dms on nostr.
If you have sensitive conversations, make sure to use e2ee tools that minimize, scramble, or hide your metadata.
#SimpleX is an example of an awesome chat tool that does just that. It's still early in development, but the dev really knows his stuff and it's already so far ahead of the game, it's ridiculous. I highly recommend checking it out.

love the 'posting...tap to undo' feature on #plebstr
nvm. just saw where you already answered that
it was amazing. right back atcha. just finished matthew mcconaughey's book. had to get the audiobook to hear him read it as well. loved it. reading american psycho rn. you?
tell em roya. loved going to powell's books when i lived in portland. and managing a free-standing walden books was the best retail job i've ever had. we legit had a sliding ladder system. so cool π€π»π
#plasma client is looking pretty damn awesome for being so early. love to see they publish their code (looking at you #plebstr π). hope to see relay fetch from public key and zap functionality soon π€π»π
social media is merely the first popular nostr enabled use case - there will be many different types of tools that use nostr as an interoperable communication protocol - none of us can comprehend the many creative use cases that will emerge
