Oddbean new post about login | logout Privacy on Nostr is not really a thing though is it? It's all well and good that clients don't collect user data for profiling purposes but people should still be mindful about what they inscribe on relays because everything is public here. And will be forever potentially.
Yeah but if you use tor or a VPN all the relay gets is your npub key. Just don't dox yourself if privacy is important to you.
Mainly I mean the writing habits, unique word combinations, consistent grammar errors, etc. which can be analysed by scraping and correlated to behaviour outside Nostr. My main concern is to separate online identities to their respective platforms. It's the life of a nym.
Just authored a similar thought, and then noticed your reply. Yes, It's not a privacy tech. I'll bet future data mining will try to explore what can be done with nostr data, including all public notes and public meta data that people post. Social graphs etc. Is absolutely possible to build, and not much extra known data is likely needed to a whole social graph. (knowing their geo location, interests, psychology) It's best to consider nostr a censorship protection tech, and as you say; be mindful of everything being public. nostr:nevent1qqs2cqp095q8zrdphgtw2ya3wlcc0wgy00myxfy5jmcxhfalt80uw3gppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzp7spvks0ryhmp6gu0kr3pet4wzkj0vm3tjjjrq0kc57fkgpnjurnqvzqqqqqqynuz9jc
