I wonder if I should make a new account so my new private key is actually safe, I don’t know if some client may have stolen it. Not many of my followers interact anyway lol.

keep it. we’re not cool enough (yet) for people to steal our nsec. lol

Someone could hypothetically see my DMs (which I barely use lol) so I’ll probably just keep it and wait a while.

Have you used any web clients?

Yes, but only one or two I think.

Imo that’s the primary vector one could be leaked through.

Well, that and human error. I’d suspect yours is prolly ok.

Probably yeah, but you can never really trust it. I don’t understand how these apps and extensions that protect it work tho.

The extension does the signing for the website. Basically, the website wants the content to the extension to be signed. That way your nsec never leaves the extension.

The amount of times I've seen people threatening to leak each other's DM's after a minor tiff is pretty sad. Even if the platform is secure it only takes the other person being a humungous fag and the privacy is gone.

Use a secure messenger you can't take screenshots of, like Briar or Threema.

Some XMPP clients also offer this ability, but then again I'm just speaking from my Droidfag point of view.
