corndalorian on Nostr: You can obfuscate your identity with Nostr or Lightning by taking proper precautions ...
You can obfuscate your identity with Nostr or Lightning by taking proper precautions from the start and being very careful about them. Use of a VPN or tor, for instance, can make it more difficult to link your online activity to your real identity. But the average person installing an app on their phone and connecting to a relay or using a lightning wallet isn’t doing that, and the relay/node operator will know at least their IP. Still probably better than the host of information collected by IG/FB, as they typically have your contacts, location info, phone number, etc.
