what's "trust me bro" privacy? that seems like a paradox.

does this blog make any sense

how I read it:
- the article seems kinda moot bc it basically says "the mapping from phone number to pubkey is trusted". we know that, every messenger using phone numbers has that problem and it's not related to MLS
- white noise is explicitly mentioned as not having this problem bc it has no phone numbers

nostr:npub10td4yrp6cl9kmjp9x5yd7r8pm96a5j07lk5mtj2kw39qf8frpt8qm9x2wl what do you think? 0xchat is also using MLS
pls sirs, form an MLS nostr committee and make everything interoperable
0xchat interops with chachi, since they follow nip-29.
I don’t know what whitenoise is using though.
Nostr MLS naturally addresses this issue by using the Nostr public key itself as the authentication mechanism. So this issue does not exist in the 0xchat-lite version or in WhiteNoise.
