 I’d argue that Nostr is one of the least private protocols for social networking in existence. 

But it is Anonymous. Possibly one of the most anonymous. But that’s nuance that’s often lost.

 Is it, though? Relays can collect IPs and other identifying info.

 Yes, because that’s obfuscatable, and only easily tied to ID by ISPs and governments. Nostr has the distinction of not requiring *any* PII to be stored, leaked, or monetized.

Basically Nostr is as anonymous as the internet can be.
