 Nostr is not private or anon - relays can see your IP address. I imagine there would be an opt-in filter to geography feed.

 Yep. That was the purpose of adding it :)

 Based. What’s the note loading, media loading performance difference with tor on vs off?

 It varies if the network is busy or not, but the average user doesn't notice a difference on an average day.

I have used it for everything for the past 4 weeks or so. Tor disconnects when the app goes to the background and reconnects when it comes back. Connecting takes about 200ms but from there it all loads with a couple frames of difference.

 That sounds promising - will test it out myself!

My prior experience with Tor has been a strugglefest - relatively plain websites take ages to load a good portion of the time.

 Yeah, I was surprised as well. It will never be the same speed as the open web but extreme speed is overrated. You can design things in ways that minimize the impact on users while significantly increasing privacy and decentralization.
