It’s not as smooth as WhatsApp or as beautiful, and it helps having your own relay for DMs, but I like controlling my own privacy.
Discussion
You can use imy relay too, it’s in my header.
How long have u been using 0xchat?
Probably around a year. I still use WhatsApp or Signal for many normie frens, but if the discussion of privacy comes up, I explain 0xChat and they’re convinced.
This is why you should use nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 rather than the DM option in your favourite NOSTR client:
Yeah I noticed dm in nostr isn't always private. When I reply in dm on nostr(Amerhyst) conversation thread it comes up in public feed when you search keywords. So if I ever dm now, I copy paste persons npub and paste into private message, seems to be some what of a work around but not sure how private it is.
Is it secure to input nsec in 0xchat? You've used the same nsec in 0xchat, you've not had any issues compromised security etc.?
You been on it for a year, so thats a pretty good test really.
