40 years ago, this could only have been the start to a Monty Python sketch. The absurd utility vest, the dead eyes. The entire Commonwealth is adrift. Tragic.
I know this is dystopian, but his accent and voice inflection just make me want to laugh.
Im sure fiatjaf would have tightened up his practices a bit had he known he would be targeted. Normies couldnt care less and will never consider their problems a symptom of their laxity, however, a well thought out threat model and privacy practices will do more than you suspect. Its tough though, ive had this account for less than a week and have already had 3 accidental leaks, whether that be vpn downtime, non anonymous tips through an old kyc wallet, geolocation,etc.
It's a very tough ask, and beyond the skill of a normie, who doesnt want to be educated. The issue is that nostr is marketed as freedom tech so normies will have a false sense of security, and do or say things on nostr that they might not elsewhere. In this regard, nostr may harm them more than it helps.
Ah I didn't even know about this, but he goes to brazillian podcasts with his real voice frequently, that happened to basedbeffjezos on X as well due to talking in public spaces

Without Tor and/or VPN? Just making a new npub won't protect you either. Nostr was not designed with privacy in mind. You have to do that outside of Nostr to be even remotely effective.
