I’m becoming more and more concerned about my privacy, especially after moving to Germany and starting using web3 social networks In Germany, it still feels strange to see my full name displayed on my apartment door. It might not be a problem if I had a German name, but I don't. Because of this, I'm trying to not post photos around my area - anyone could easily find my building just by checking the doorbells. Also, nearly every service here in Germany - like massage, or hairdressers - asks for personal info such as address and phone. And given how these services are made and how often data leaks happen, I give incorrect data everywhere. And with Farcaster, I’m now sharing some financial activity tied to my identity. It’s made me much more careful about which wallets I expose to avoid revealing sensitive transactions like travel payments - something I hadn’t really think a lot before Farcaster.

I think it's good to reduce the amount of personal/financial data that you're leaking. But in a pragmatic way, because it's impossible to reduce it 100%. Btw, this tool may come useful in some (financial-related) cases: https://www.fluidkey.com/

Is it by law to have your full name displayed?

well, i think your concerns are fair. that's why i try to stay pseudonymous, as much as possible. especially as a woman, i am paranoid. for sensitive transactions, it's better to have a completely separate wallet that you fund via a cex and is not connected to your onchain socials.

Yea the name on apartment thing is awful, so impractical too. Why change that every time someone moves in?? Having to know the name of the person who was in the flat before is a hassle

Feels like balancing privacy is an art form these days. Living in a world where everything’s traceable, sometimes the little things, like a door label, hit hardest.
