So here's a very serious question:
How does a person truly remain private in communicating their thoughts via an electronic or digital medium?
There has to be a way around this.
For example, my current npub uses my real name and face. There may come a time when I want to start a fresh one but have it completely segregated and private as possible, yet still communicate with the outside world via Nostr.
How does a person truly do this?
Some basics:
- Never use your real name, face, job description, etc.
- Never post pictures of buildings that can be used to identify your location.
- Use a VPN before you launch the Nostr application

The TOR web browser is another tool you can use : -

Defend yourself against tracking and surveillance. Circumvent censorship.
TOR is the only way. A VPN company can track everything you do. And governments can force VPN providers to cooperate.
The only thing a VPN may work for, is streaming Netflix shit that you can't get in your location.
you cant, as there will be a server with that communication in order for the other person to see it. best you can do is stay anon and only connect with tor.
make a nym , create the nsec using amber running over orbot. log into your npub on aethyst over orbot using amethyst / garnet. only connect to relays running over tor
and should be assumed you are not using the app store with your doxed google acct to download the apps.
