Still sorting out how I want to engage in social media (meaning nostr, I am not active anywhere else).

I now have 3 npubs for different engagement:

this one, that is essentially a nym, although a somewhat leaky one. My opsec around this nym is far from perfect. I still feel pretty safe posting whatever I want here, without any expectation of meatspace reprisals.

Another one, that has really been more for viewing specific content around a personal interest. I've posted from it a few times, but I have no intention of sharing anything remotely personal with it.

And a new one, that will be as real and public as a Facebook profile. My real name. I'll probably be paying the most attention to this npub, using it to see how comfortable I am with respect to posting. For example, I don't expect I will even acknowledge bitcoin. Because I don't need anyone (online) knowing whether or not I might have some, or have had some. No need to invite that wrench attack. No zaps. No nodes. Just a normie npub, spouting normie shit about normie interests, mostly. Nothing that would trigger any kind of second glance, even if all past notes are searched and indexed (which I assume they are or will be).

Boring, you say? Try it. It isn't easy, trying to establish a social graph of sorts while not disclosing a whole lot.

Is is "being myself"? Of course it is, but only when you consider the composite of these npubs (and any others I might have, or end up creating later on).
