 84 lines of code and I can now creep on other users DMs...
Nip04 DMs are pretty useful and leak just as much metadata as facebook/twitter DMs. but I don't think people realize just what the metadata looks like.

I'm not sure if its a good idea, but I'm pretty sure I could cause lots of drama if I showed the users most recent corespondents on their about page in #noStrudel...
Its just showing data thats already there but I wonder how people would react? 
 Yea the dm graph made me think twice about using dms 
 I built this a while ago but Its not the same thing as showing it on the users profile https://next.nostrudel.ninja/#/tools/network-dm-graph 
 This is awesome. I think we should keep old-style DMs just for fun and gamify them, in addition to building new ones. 
 Someone did that already, was not well received  
 There was a bot that spilled the beans on DMing..it's probably still out there doing it 🤔 
 I don't mind getting canceled. I just would want to make sure there is a better solution we could move to. 
 Wdyt about gift wrapped dms? 
 I haven't had the time to learn about them let. but they sound like the simplest (best?) replacement 
 The chaotic good dev we deserve lol 
 @hodlbod hurry up lol 
 Just show it. If people don't know they won't change behavior.
Its the same with the Last Seen feature I have in Nostur, I don't want to have this feature in Nostur, and people want to to be able to turn it off but its inherent to the protocol, it can't be turned off, so I show it so people are not using nostr under false assumptions.

Use nostr for public things to private.
