so : people can see that a DM occurred and its length, but not its content? am i understanding correctly ? #asknostr
there is a cool feature of most clients where you can take someone’s npub (find and copy from bio) and limited log in as them, the cool part is you can kinda walk in their shoes, and see how their feed looks. It’s not a bad way to discover new people to follow… it will also let you see what the DM’s look like to someone else. There are people working on better more private DM’s.
whoaaa wait what !!!! thats uh. interesting. so if someone has my public key they could see my DMs ?
no they just see you DM’d me as “encrypted message” they don’t have your key so they can’t decrypt it
ahhhhhh ok thats better then
it still needs to be fixed, a lot of people like this https://simplex.chat
the fix will probably include some of that tech
Well its not private in people can know you sent SOMETHING to someone but they can't know what it was
Nostr DMs are kinda semi private.
Basically who messaged who can be seen but not what was in the message. The contesnt is encrypted.
Most apps (clients) are already working to make it more private.
