 I just re established a traditional bow hobby. Made a 44lb bow of hickory.

Should I have a separate nsec for that type of stuff?

This nsec is pretty varied on tech and shit posting. Not sure if trad bows have a place

 I think that depends on how much your ratio of #traditionalBow notes you share. You could rock a new tech/ old tech juxtaposition, a 4D reality, past present and future happening all at the same time on the same nsec.  
 I did want to make a wrist based angle lock.
Plug in variables to have it measure out to where you're looking and have it calculate the angle. Then LED off once you've found the angle.  
 Do it! Over time, I think you would become familiar with the angles instinctively, and your measurements would serve anyone learning. Wdyt?  
 Instinct is the only way to shoot my bow. There's no sites to align or anything. Very hard to aim the further out you go 
 Gapping w the shaft, or the gap at the riser are my preferred methods depending on distance.  https://charlesarcheryblog.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/various-methods-of-aiming-the-traditional-bow/ 
 I would follow an nsec for that

 Normalize multiple nsecs. 

I wish the keys were more like HD wallets so we could manage multiple identities with a single key. It might help with making DMs more private without a bunch of fancy NIPs, but I'm probably wrong on that or there is some reason that additional identities aren't as simple as HD wallets or even BIP-85. 🤷‍♂️

 Iiuc, it's the forward secrecy part that is tricky for nostr. Priv key leaked, then all DMs leaked.  
 I say make a new one. I’ll follow and boost, that’s cool as hell 🏹 
 Nah, send it 
 Are you a brand or a human being? 
 Is an nsec a brand or part of the user? 
 Fwiw, I get what you're saying but I see nostr as a communication tool and am curious to explore different aspects of it.  
 My mind is racing over this question because I think it cuts to a deep question about how we use nostr.

Thoughts. Everyone dresses different for different occasions in the real world. Is an nsec profile a form of digital outfit?

Organization matters. Having a topical account might focus my time and energy when logged in there.

I have a similar setup with my dev handle. I try to limit shit posting from that handle so people come to know it for it's technical content. 

Thank you for such a thought provoking question! Might rip a podcast about it 
 Identity is prismatic. Always has been. 

You're a different person at your aunt's funeral, at work, at a bachelorette party, at the strip club, at the chess club, at the boxing gym, etc. 

We dress differently and act differently in different contexts for a reason, and the online world isn't very good at mapping this fact of human life to accounts/personas/nsecs (yet).  
 Most online personas use different accounts for what it's worth, eg big YouTube accounts will create 2nd accounts for certain topics, etc pp. 

So the naturally emerging de-facto standard seems to be multiple accounts to deal with prismatic identity.  
 Case in point, they created a 2nd channel: nostr:nevent1qqsxqcwvrm8ly4k9662qjha25wzdu8a0k3q4g03f7rkrp72p2gdesqgpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd9upzpd7x76g4e756vtlldg0syczdazxz83kxcmgm3a3v0nqswj0nql5pqvzqqqqqqy6n8zh9  
 You don't need new profiles if you can just publish in different communities and manage those. 
That way things can overlap (as they always do).

You can post your Freedom Tech articles in the communities most suited for them and your insights on Photography in a completely different set of communities. And you can publish your article on a Nostr app for photographers in a selection of both of these niches of communities. 

Without settting up a new profile.
With different prices & guidelines for each community.

And with something the internet never had before: 
The members of your selected communities for your post all come together and meet around that post. One event ID, one reply section accessible to all these members. 
 
 That's true in most cases, and I hope we'll get there with nostr. But it has its limits too. That's why some people are just "Steve" for the long weekend in Las Vegas.  
 Yup haha, you 💯  need the "Steve" npubs too 😂 . 

You just really don't need them for every niche topic you want to publish content about.

 I try to act myself where every I find I may be.  theeeeere maaay be small filters.  but the core is still hedl down strong.  
 however, your values determine where you will actually go, what you will actually do and what you will actually wear, do they not? at your core, some things do not change. 
 Nice topic to think about.

If we meet in real life, first time, our first impression forms in that moment.  If I post something on a nsec that is couple years old, you might decide to first read up on my past , see 'what I stand for' even though my mind could have changed along the way, instead of taking my message fresh.
Having different nsecs for work, familie, mix, whatever.. It's possible

How would it be if we drop our nsec everyday, taking a new one when the sun rises?  

Maybe we can keep stepping into the same spaces that interest us, remembering I saw your face before, but now is the first time we meet.     



 
 I’m interested in you the human being. What you’re wearing or what you’re doing are layers of you that help to make you interesting. 
 Good point. As some others have highlghted, different settings call for different decorum. Much the same way I don't see the same parents at soccer as I di gymnastics. However, the ones I see at both, I have connected with more due to shared time and stated interest. 

I suppose this may come down to motivations. I do notnot aim to recreate my persona or hide myself. Rather, I think of it as organizingmy online presence. I could accomplish similar with lists but those have been cumbersome to manage across apps. And does nothing for those interested one niche vs the other.

 Perhaps mg thoughts are projecting Sunday's sermon. But there is merit to meeting people where they are while staying true to core beliefs and tenets while doing so.

 I have different thoughts on this. On one side, you're hurting your new content type by not allowing it to be associated and boosted by your current identity. On the other hand, some people may not want to follow you for that new type of content and would prefer it to be separate. In the end, I feel that we humans cannot fit inside the same box all of the time. We're more than one school of thought or one genre of content. I follow Gary because I like Gary. This includes all of Gary's content. If Gary started to post one thing I wasnt interesting in, I wouldn't stop following Gary because I would then miss out on the other content that I do like. This school of thought won't work for everyone, because again we don't all fit in the same box.
