There are proposals to fix this, but the current system has been around for years.

What’s also interesting to me is that Bluesky is also punting on DM’s and encryption. They might link to your matrix profile for DM, basically use matrix for chat and DM’s which isn’t a terrible idea but does at a lot of complexity.

My main worry with both the fediverse and bluesky’s lack of tackling encryption and privacy is that you lose the ability to do interesting private groups. This is an important future for Nostr and something which makes us unique. nostr:note13pmq497l0sr34p69va35uqthg68nn04knya7ev3gy6n70pl992zsa22njh
