This is just a reminder to all that Bluesky DMs are not private. https://i.nostr.build/ct9kgJEltFWo0A6t.jpg
Brazilians joining need to be aware of this. #Brasil #Brazil

DM me via carrier pigeon.
WTF. How are people even ok with this, is a complete mistery to me 😳 nostr:nevent1qqsg9zru59upu7g09gvt93daarj27s5gyqn9ta8df3cfjvs9lqmvunsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqrqsqqqqqpdkazsw
Same deal with mastodon DMs.
Absolutely true. Mastodon server instance admins can read everything in clear text.
Is there any good reason they kept DMs in cleartext?
No?
It's kind of a trick question since there is no valid reason for doing cleartext DMs but I'm at the same time genuinely interested in why they went with it anyways.
I have no idea. Maybe someone more versed in the protocol can answer? nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhgpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0hswhhl
Poor Alex, we've tagged him multiple times today about this same question in another thread 😂
🫠
It's cleartext because it's just easier. There have been proposals to do E2EE on Mastodon, and there's even a branch where they implemented Signal's protocol, but it's too hard to have a cross platform experience with the preferred UX unless users control their keys directly, which users on Mastodon don't.
makes sense. thanks!
Mastodon is all about giving instance admins god mode over their fiefdom.
Wild 🤯
Nostr only 🫡

Is the NOSTR DM private?
The metadata is not
And they kill people with that shit

NIP-104 fixes all of this.
Yes.
Can you prove it?
I just told someone that you were an asshole. Please tell me who.
The only person you dm’ed recently was npub1ktt8phjnkfmfrsxrgqpztdjuxk3x6psf80xyray0l3c7pyrln49qhkyhz0 I guess he was the one but way to welcome noobs to NOSTR. Well done. 👍🏻
I did DM him, but that wasn't the person. He was my decoy 😂 I told the person via NIP-17 🥹 You won't know who since it was gift wrapped.
lol
And we thought NIP-04 was bad! What a shit show. 😂
what is the appeal of bluesky at this point, honestly, besides the logo?
Decentralized in name only social media alternative to Twitter.
Lol, the messages are not even e2e encrypted? Dafuq. Glad I'm on the best protocol #nostr
Assume everything is readable. Fund privacy tools. Keychat fixes this * #privacy #keychat *hopefully
SimpleX is better
Hold up... "account takedown"? xD Eh... I sense they have a flaw in their system. If that's possible it will be used illegitimately at some point.
they have a platform that empowers Karen's and feds.
And how do private messages work on #nostr?
there's different implementations of private messages, but no one except you can read your DMs unless you leak your private key. check out this talk for more details https://youtu.be/PWKd9aoZ-Cg
Nostr DMs too
no one can read your nostr dms unless you leak your private key
Still not private, relays can se who you talk with, no metadata protection, no nothing
Wow color me surprised another surveillance tool founded by @jack
When you play left wing games win left wing prizes. 😂
Really bad trade off for the users. But to be honest, using social media DMs for not-so-trivial things that could potentially become public is like sticking your naked ass out the window of a moving bus.
