Oddbean new post about login | logout 🫡 feel free to ask questions. Nostr's as much or as little as you make it. You control just about everything about your experience.
Nice, so is there something like private Direct messages here?
Yeah, but currently on Damus you will leak metadata like who you are chatting with when using DMs. The messages themselves are private though.
Oh. So is there alternative to that?
IIRC @0xchat fixes that
It warns you when you receive a message that is not gift wrapped. This means you’ll leak metadata if you respond to it. nostr:note1q743lwuhzclt37rsr2ch2x2vldsh9pgyvwl5xfrjn7wvf8apcmvqkadtwy
No, you response is also Giftwrapped DM
What’s the warning for then?
Warning for: Your friends are not using Client’s Support Giftwrapped DM and may not be able to receive your Giftwrapped messages.
Is there an option to send an unwrapped message to make sure they get it?
Unfortunately, it's no longer available to prevent users from accidentally sending an unwrapped DM. Perhaps you could use another client to notify the other person
Direct messages, yes. How private those are is debatable lol ... I'm unfamiliar with damus but maybe a little envelope icon?
When you click on someone’s pfp, there’s a message button in Damus
