I understand that neither twitter DMs or nostr DMs are private. Maybe the better question to ask is what are the privacy trade offs between the two?

For example, can Elon read my nostr DMs? I don't think so, but he can read my Twitter DMs.

Can anyone see who I've been DMing and when on Twitter? No, well no one except anyone with the right privileges.

In what circumstances would one prefer to use one platforms DMs over the other? In my opinion, if I had to choose, I think nostr is strictly better than Twitter for my usage. In what ways am I wrong about this?

Nostr is transparent about the exchange of notes between npubs but the content can only be read by each npub.

The big risk is if the npub you're exchanging information with loses exclusive access to their nsec. Then everything that was ever discussed with them is revealed.

I still prefer this model as it pushes the risk out to the edges rather than centralising it on a server.
