DMs are literally the worst “feature” of nostr

why? what's wrong with nostr DMs?

that's true! that's a real problem, tho nip44 dms leak less data than nip04, FAR less data

What specific metadata besides time and who you messaged?

Who you messaged is NOT part of the metadata, who RECEIVED a message is, the sender is in the wrap.

How many people even know what you're working on? Is it top secret?

not top secret, feel free to share it with the world, rev ~ gonna have two workshops at nostr:npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269 talking about it

for anyone who is curious, the tl;dr is that it's essentially a tool to create secure, private, closed community networks, i.e. think about it as invite only communities. all data is stored on each CCN member's machine, and you can build small applications on top of the CCN to enable all sorts of things (e.g. a forum, a simple tweet client, image sharing, money pools, whatever comes to your mind)

NIP-17 doesn't, I don't understand how some of the major players still dont use that.

Lol am I out of the loop? They’re meh - nothing crazy

They’re broken. Incompatible between clients. Hot garbage. Don’t use them and thank me later.

You know what, that makes sense because when I joined recently, people recommended an extra app to communicate — thanks 👍

And even then they’re still lacking in features compared to other, much better, e2ee, private messaging services. So if you have to use a separate app anyway, why not just use a better service? 🤷‍♂️😂

Had one fail this morning related to a meeting.

🚫 DMs is now in my profile.

Best policy 😂😭

I miss most of them and feel bad for replying a month later...🤣

Excuse me but how’s your crypto trading going?

Hey it works sometimes 😅

Give them your Keet name and dm there

DM spam. And creepy unsolicited DM's. But you're saying take all private 1:1 conversation outside the platform?

Yes that’s what I’m saying.

Thank you for making these memes nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5! I don't know if you already seen my nostr:npub1etjm06353tl0cnqs9wmmzfwyj283z3ee5facwlrte7l957fgqwzqsznr68. You are taking a part of it every week. 🔥
