We need real human connection on the internet, but if I upload a picture of my face on Nostr, that picture could be available to everyone, forever, across multiple relays. Because of that, I'm always extremely selective about what I post here. That hesitation creates a negative incentive to share at all. You might argue that this applies to every social network, but their more closed nature makes data harvesting much harder. Plus, when you update your picture, you can trust that your old one will no longer be visible. The consequences feel smaller—at least psychologically.
