The interesting part about this problem is that Nostr, as a protocol, is in one of the best positions to offer the most private experience possible.

And these aren’t just buzzwords. With just one click, you could enable a completely anonymous mode.

For some accounts, you could mark them as Tor-only, ensuring they work only when Tor is enabled.

No protocol changes are needed, these issues can be addressed entirely by clients.

Privacy is the best feature any client can offer.
On Nostr, we take privacy too much for granted.

The moment you open a client like a regular user (without a VPN or Tor), you’re exposing more personal data than on almost any other social protocol or platform.

Even if you’re extremely careful, it only takes one slip, one instance of not using a VPN, to become completely exposed and doxxed.

I’m not suggesting changes to the protocol, in fact, I believe clients can play a crucial role here. But we need to start talking about this.
