I'm just surprised at how many new users think Nostr makes you anonymous, when it's completely opposite. It makes you very public and exposed (unless you take your own measures).

Nostr makes everyone anonymous, not private. Be careful what you share if you want to remain anonymous, also a VPN doesn't hurt to have.

I would say is "allows one to be anonymous". It doesn't make anyone anonymous, especially when getting a (nearly?) non-fakable ID is part of using Nostr. It starts off with giving you a solid identifier.
