Being the target of that type of attention is not fun. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t lived through it could understand. 

Nostr has a very interesting threat profile. In a lot of ways, it’s much more anonymous, or private in a way: doesn’t require PII, etc. 

At the same time, the odds of getting yourself doxxed is way higher on Nostr just by nature of how exposed your IP address, etc is - and it only takes one malfunction or slip-up with a VPN, Tor, etc to have your real one out there. 

It’s honestly amusing to me, the odds of getting doxxed while not performing illegal activities is higher on Nostr. The odds of getting doxxed while actually breaking the law are way higher on MSM. 

Threat profile is everything. And I think it’s wrong to only think two-dimensionally about threat (high or low). The person living under an oppressive political regime has a very different set of threats than the person who doesn’t want to be identified because they’re unpopular or saying ugly things.
