I'd nuance the privacy part a bit. On nostr, every follow, reaction, reply and post is necessarily public - it goes with the interoperability and portability dimensions. And relays can still infer a lot of a user's interactions from the data they request. See

Periodic reminder that your relays see absolutely EVERYTHING you do on Nostr. Regardless of which Client you use. They literally see the app downloading zaps, replies, and reactions when you scroll your posts in real time.

So... MAKE SURE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE and that you TRUST THEM with that information.

Nostr is just like a browser. The server has to know what you want to see to send it to you, and that gives them the power to track you and see what you are asking for. There is no way around it.

I can't stress this enough.

Also, since everything you post is signed, nostr doesn't really have a delete or "forget me" mechanism. Which is something to keep in mind, always.
