If you don't explain to them that the infrastructure is pretty much immutable and that if you aren't careful, your real identity is tied to that immutable record and that will have very real world consequences soon enough, you're being a really evil prick.
Centralized digital ID is coming. If people don't understand that, then them getting locked up or worse because their real identity is now linked with a cryptographically provable dataset is 100% going to happen.
And it will be on YOUR heads. Nostr is one of the most powerful tools I've ever seen. Not telling people before they use an app or service that nostr can ruin their life moreso than any other app/platform/protocol is grossly irresponsible. IMO. You don't hand a three year old a running chainsaw for the same reasons. 😑

we also need to remember that "immutable" isn't a word everyone is familiar with. Its a balancing act between informing people and not coming off as a wack job tech boi.
Fair enough point you make but it won’t be “on your heads”, it’s on the heads of the evil people doing the life ruining… no one can be responsible for all the uses their good idea might be put to…
