I prefer nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828

Oof.

Freedom tech you say

Got some folks to show this to...

Nostr only is the way.

Nostr only is the future.

Nostr only should be the present.

Yet so many bitcoiners still worship at the feet of Apple, Coinkite and others.

I'm just gonna say it...If it ain't FOSS, it's fucked. 🤷

#FOSS2025 should be your # 1 #NewYearsResolution if you set goals like that.

I haven't missed telegram since leaving last year. You won't either. The people that matter will find you wherever you avail yourself.

How secure are private messages on nostr?

Sending you one as a test

Back to your original question: messages are secure, but not private.

Anyone can log into a nostr client with your npub and see that we are DM'ING each other (sender, recipient, time, but not contents)

Nostr wasn’t designed for DMs and privacy, at least with current junior devs who don’t have skills and experience in cryptography and don’t care about the user privacy! Encryption on here is 💩 Don’t use it if you want to exchange private information!

Signal > Telegram

😵‍💫

I don’t do anything immoral but I still prefer to use messengers that just don’t have anything to turn over.

Also, here’s a link to archived and non-login-walled copy of article:

Simplex is winning

Correct

I was able to convince a significant number of friends and family to move over to Signal from Telegram. Next order of business is to start the SimpleX migration campaign.

That's where I was scammed from, as was my uncle. I kind of hate telegram all around.

wasn't the main dev arrested in France when Macron asked him to come there? that was the flashing red warning light right there.

CEO. The main dev is his brother, but yeah, it was all over once that happened.

They all do

Who would've thought...

Can nostr fix this? Could someone host their own relay and use encryption/decryption for those on that relay?

Well who pooped at the party

Nevertheless, it is still more secure than most of the communication programs available today. This article only states that IP addresses and phone numbers are all the "user information" that Telegram can provide to authorities.

this is the guy who got arrested in his private jet in France?
