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 -- But what else? --

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.
