This is just a reminder to all that Bluesky DMs are not private. 
Discussion
Brazilians joining need to be aware of this. #Brasil #Brazil
WTF. How are people even ok with this, is a complete mistery to me π³
Bluesky is a total shitshow
Whatβs Bluesky? #nostronly
Same deal with mastodon DMs.
Absolutely true. Mastodon server instance admins can read everything in clear text.
Is there any good reason they kept DMs in cleartext?
No?
It's kind of a trick question since there is no valid reason for doing cleartext DMs but I'm at the same time genuinely interested in why they went with it anyways.
I have no idea. Maybe someone more versed in the protocol can answer? nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhgpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0hswhhl
I think nostr DMs meta is accessible but not the note's body.
Wild π€―
Nostr only π«‘
Is the NOSTR DM private?
Yes.
Can you prove it?
I just told someone that you were an asshole. Please tell me who.
ππππππ
The only person you dmβed recently was
npub1ktt8phjnkfmfrsxrgqpztdjuxk3x6psf80xyray0l3c7pyrln49qhkyhz0
I guess he was the one
but way to welcome noobs to NOSTR. Well done. ππ»
lol
And we thought NIP-04 was bad! What a shit show. π
It isn't clear to me what they're even trying to be at this point.
Booooooooo
Lol, the messages are not even e2e encrypted? Dafuq.
Glad I'm on the best protocol #nostr
Terrible
Hold up... "account takedown"? xD Eh... I sense they have a flaw in their system. If that's possible it will be used illegitimately at some point.
they have a platform that empowers Karen's and feds.
This is insane, I canβt fathom why anyone would build a new method of social media without encrypted DMs
Jack was involved so what do you expect?
The sheep like apps like this one
while nostriches figured out #NosTorObot :-)
you know admins in there looking at your dick pics
Are nostrβs private?
And how do private messages work on #nostr?
there's different implementations of private messages, but no one except you can read your DMs unless you leak your private key.
check out this talk for more details
What an absolute mess. BlueSky and Mastodon are just as bad as Web3 POS.
If you give them an inch theyβll take a mile. Fuck the fishbowls.
soon all centralised platforms will be sharing everything with the #Panopticon; see #chatControl.
thatβs why we need the #nostr ecosystem to flourish!
#BUIDL π𧑠#freedomtech
Nostr DMs too
no one can read your nostr dms unless you leak your private key
Still not private, relays can se who you talk with, no metadata protection, no nothing
Use clients utilizing the newer DM spec.
Thatβs still way better than what Bluesky has. Use nostr:npub1h0uj825jgcr9lzxyp37ehasuenq070707pj63je07n8mkcsg3u0qnsrwx8 or secret messages in nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 for best privacy. π€
yes
Lame
"Rare" cases.... like "Rare" in video game terms probably? Not so low it's legendary but not so common it's grey.
you know they're gonna give feds access to this. possible they already have.
Velvet gloved totalitarianism.
How did bluesky become this way?
Wow color me surprised another surveillance tool founded by nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
This is why I dislike the fediverse apps, I understand they are useful but still they have a single point of failure which is the person(s) Hosting the services. #GrowNostr
Rare my ass.
When you play left wing games win left wing prizes. π
Really bad trade off for the users.
But to be honest, using social media DMs for not-so-trivial things that could potentially become public is like sticking your naked ass out the window of a moving bus.
