Yeah, the attack vector is much much larger than a centralized social platform. Instead of Facebook or Twitter knowing everything about you (which at least they protect). Here any rando could figure out a lot of things. Guess I should really not use nostr without a vpn. Though now sure how much that helps. Though VPNs somehow still leak a lot of information.

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.

Stfu nanny bitch Ava.

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.

Ava is a nanny cunt bitch and I hate her.

Find better ones how exactly? Is there a central trust list?

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

Every day.

Does reading from a relay and not writing to it offer any changes in privacy?

Centralized platforms knowing but "protecting" your information is a total fallacy they would like you to believe. Selling your information is how they got huge. They anonymize it maybe, but once it's sold it's out of their hands, and it is quickly de-anonymized, attached to a detailed profile, and resold.
