Nostr Web Client

I’m just now learning that the date and time of DMs are completely public and can be viewed with nothing but an npub key.

I can’t read your DM but I can know who you’re talking to and when.

Not only is it transparent, but you should assume events exist forever.

If you lose exclusive control of your private key, every encrypted communication you've ever had with anyone gets compromised.

Absolutely. I had almost completely stopped any private messaging on Nostr before I learned this.

Now I will completely stop using Nostr for any and all private communications.

Nostr is only for public notes and other public stuff.

So DM’s are very bad OpSec. Good to know man.

Yup been that way since the start. I like nostr a lot but its in no way private. Simplex, briar, matrix, hell even signal is better for private coms.

Yeah. It’s like a massive public forum where everything is written in stone forever.
