Yep. Relays know everything about you: your interests, the time you spent on each post, your IP/ location, etc.

If that's the case then fucking fix it. If I can be tracked from NOSTR I'm out of here.
Servers can always track you. Relays are the same. That's why we avoid connecting to random relays. You MUST trust the relay operators in your relay list. If you don't trust them, don't use them. Find better ones.
Literally ANY web service you use has this capacity. The only difference here is that its in the open. Many devs DO in fact advocate for privacy and security. @Ava is 🐏 and gives amazing tips and advice.
Know your threat model and how to work with it. No one else is going to hold your hand and do it for you.
Do you delete your browser history several times a day and use a vpn ? If not, you dont have to worry about little old nostr then lol
no wonder snowden quit lol
Snowden knew that from day 1. I don't know if he quit but I can guarantee it wasn't because of this.
he just stop posting? maybe he is using another nym?
I thought #nostr only recorded time and the content of posts? You’re saying individual relays can add their own trackers for other metrics if you choose to connect to them? I guess that makes sense, different servers/websites can use different analytics so why not relays.
Sure. They receive all requests you ask for from the app. They just need to save it.
