I wouldn't trust the #Damus app or relay with my account or IP address again. Will just proved he's one disagreement away from doxxing you. That's not someone I'd trust with my data.

I've seen some opinions that you shouldn't give data up if you don't want it intentionally leaked. I think that's bullshit, especially when it's something like a Nostr relay that is quite large in the space and well known. It was unprofessional and I also don't want anything to do with their products after that.
You can't have a society without some level of decency and respect for others, even if you don't like them. Imagine if these people came to my hospital and I posted their medical information in a note? Would it be gaslighting to say they shouldn't have given it to me? Yes.
Even if the information would have been public in a legal context (maybe), that doesn't make it okay.
My trust and respect was violated. I figure he doesn't give a fuck and that's fine. Best of luck
Agree. This behavior reflects poorly on him professionally. Can't say I'm surprised he's looking for a new day job right now. That kind of thing is not welcome here.
@TheGrinder wanted him to dox me, it backfired. (using gmail was hilarious btw 🤣)
woman are you under influence? #asknostr
You were trusting relays before?
No, and this is why.
It's arguably worse to trust some relay-running rando with your data than a corporation that at least has a policy and some degree of accountability... but many people do.
Use Tor, use a VPN. Taking one's threat model into account, you are responsible for your own privacy...
...but that doesn't make it any less of a betrayal when a developer unnecessarily doxxes someone.
"What can one expect from Will" in the theaters near you any time now.
