First you realize there is no privacy with Nostr. Everything you post is essentially here forever.

Then you realize that’s how the entire internet works. Every server you interact with that isn’t ingesting E2E encrypted data could expose that data (if it doesn’t by default). Your Instagram DM could get exposed in a hack, or Instagram could be secretly sharing it with advertisers anyway.

I come here to share thoughts, and because of the permanence of the internet, I don’t necessarily what these thoughts associated with me forever. At least not yet. There are people I know and work with that have such a stigma about these topics that it could legitimately have a negative impact… and you can’t undox yourself.

Is that disingenuous and self-censoring bullshit? I mean… yeah probably.

But, this is one of the only places I share what I actually think without giving a shit what anyone thinks of it. In that way it feels like a super power.

I think eventually I’ll put my name on here… or maybe I’ll always be a dragon, it’s kinda fun. Either way - due to the nature of the internet, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sharing anonymous thoughts.
