I didnt give ID, real number, or real email to X.
No one has to. Not sure why this lie persists on Nostr when it's demonstrably false.
definitely need to bring those back 🫡
I read your original note as insulted by nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
I misunderstood
ah, no, was calling out the replies.
Is anyone building this?
nostr:note1vfrqrpjrvhfnmcntjjp0gx8hhxlhaz27386wtpprdfhzy0chsy2q382xny
yes, but as mentioned it's a very different set of tradeoffs with much easier "doxxing" by randos via relays or malicious media embeds.
As bad as X is, it's at least not exposing IP to anyone with basic sysadmin skills.
💯
And that's something heavily underrated about Nostr that is usually an issue with centralized social media -- it is generally Tor/VPN friendly.
That could change if relay ops have issues with spam, but for now it's true at least.

His nym only held up because he had immaculate opsec/privacy.
Theyre not the same but must be paired together.
Being permissionless and transparent is a great strength of Nostr. Not only do you know exactly what is public, but you can also use appropriate solutions according to your needs, like Tor or a VPN. Nothing is really stopping you, and that's very powerful.
I must say it's a pleasure to have people like nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g here. We need good awareness around privacy in every cyberspace, and Seth has done a great job in this area. We can definitely learn a lot.

If there was a tool to cross-post from X to Nostr I would.
But I just simply don't have time for both and think the audience on X needs pro-privacy, pro-freedom tech, pro-freedom money content more right now.
nah it's an open source mobile app too.
No, I disagree.
If you can't control what data about you isconnected to nyms, they won't provide any privacy.
Pseudonymity is EXTREMELY fragile unless paired with strong privacy.
Two things can simultaneously be true:
1) I want Nostr to succeed.
2) I don't love what it is today.
Thankful for all those continuing to work on Nostr and the broader ecosystem 🫂
I only criticize out of love and to be sure that people understand that there are actually tradeoffs with Nostr! We need dissenting opinions on here.
autocorrect in primal is... very broken. it keeps intentionally mispelling words 😅
most just don't know, which is why im still on X to help them learn.
im not just going to abandon them to their own devices.
no need to do what he says, just use a good VPN or Tor.
im not offended by pushback, I always get pushback because I don't fit into a neat maxi mold.
The responses were atrociois and almost all personal insults, literally not one useful reply. If Nostriches can't handle someone calling out issues with their baby and not liking some aspects im not sure what to say lol
no incentives, I just write what I think helps people see through misnomers/FUD/influencer garbage.
I have nothing to gain by breaking down misunderstandings of Nostr, would be a lot better for me to just go with the tide and circlejerk.
