Oddbean new post about login | logout Everyone has right to express opinion in nostr social without fear of account suspension. #introductions #plebchain #growstr
But there is fear of Doxing. Nostr is NOT private
doxing what ? ur exit IP ? all websites collect that can dox u anytime when asked by law nostr is open comm public forum not for P2P talk ! it never meant for privacy !
Typical websites aren’t available for the world to see. For those that don’t like you opinion to see.
In what terms it's not private
Did you use a VPN to post? If not, the entire world knows where you live now.
My VPN is set with a kill switch. Plus the internet connection is not in my name nor the mobile phones. Plus I don't even live somewhere because I spend some month in a continent some others in another. And other things.
Ok. Congrats. You’re 1/100,000. Most people need to protect their privacy and location
Well I started time ago, had time to learn.
And most people are too lazy or retarded to learn
Well yes most people are zero interested in tech and logic. I cannot understand that but I understand I'm not mainstream. At 5 people where playing ball and I was more interested to get old tv and radio parts to put them together. Lucky my mom let me do very dangerous things so I started learning and loving the results. My first computer was a TI99-4a. And Fidonet was science fiction
What’s a vpn kill switch?
Ok but if it's just the IP. That is easy. The issue is phone apps can do things we cannot fully trace over the gsm network. Plus they can fine locate by wireless and Bluetooth around. I am building a wireless spoofer for that. Here there are only my networks but in other places there is a lot around
Relays can suspend accounts without their clients realizing. Relays have zero obligation to report which posts they are filtering and Nostr gives clients little means to find out. What else can I call it besides "suspension" if the people who would otherwise respond to my posts can't see them? What else can I call it if a person's posts are gone from my feed with no way for me to get them back?
learn more - useless input - nobody can stop anyone setting up relay - democratic suspend / backlist repulican npub then repub setup own relay - ur half knowledge useless dumb comment from no reputation npub is bullshit. fact that u able to comment means nostr is open than any other system . ur account suspended at X or mastadoon no other u still post. here u hop another relay post again. good bye dummy bot. make new npub commemnt
That only works if the users who would be recieving your posts know to use your new relay. Tell me, how would they do that? I've seen people replying to posts that I can't see. What do I do about that? How do I find out what obscure relay I need to add to see that post? How do I know what a relay is blocking if they don't want to say? In theory I can choose my content, but in practice it's impossible to tell which relay options will have the effects I want.
