twitter dms are read by anyone with access.

nostr dms are private until using them weakens the security of your key.

I think SimpleX is currently the go-to solution if you want privacy.

TL;DR repeatedly using the same key over and over again to encrypt data makes it easier to crack (among other concerns)

I thought this was only an issue between the two involved in the messages?
