I don't disagree with you but the solution is quite simple and not in any of the quesitons you asked.
Post no personal information, never use your name, your anything.
Use existing e2e encrypted solutions for "direct messages"
Don't be fucking retarded
This nostr shit is fine for what it is (public pseudonymous discussion) but it will fail miserably if idiots use it for something it isn't (social media for fucking cancerous e-celeb influencer wannabes sending you good vibes)
Yes. This seems the be the safe way to use the existing clients.
I see so many people posting so much personal info. Doesn’t seem wise from a privacy protection perspective. It also seems like they don’t know any better and it would be good for more resources to exist about how to use clients responsibly.
What are existing e2e encrypted solutions? I’m not actually very tech savvy.
Anything that properly implements the double ratchet protocol is probably fine bordering on ideal. XMPP's omemo is my preferred implementation and IM service.
Technically e2e encryption over email or literally any medium that can exchange text using AGE or PGP is also fine and fairly battle-tested.
Since none of those are peer to peer though, someone will always know you sent a message to someone else, but not what it entailed.
AFAIK there are no widespread p2p and e2e encrypted solutions, but maybe I'm just not plugged in to the right places
Thanks for sharing.
