I believe telling a user not to DM me on this npub that shows their WoT with me or to not DM me on a currently familiar app but to download a new app, create a new account and add a secondary npub for me, is an extremely bad user experience and will lead to scammers harming users.
The key is to make Nostr more simple for the masses, not overly complicated.
I want a dedicated chat app very badly, but I'm not going to put new users through these hurdles to just DM me. There has to be a better way that has a nice marriage of UX and security.
Keychat's goal is not to serve as a DM for a microblogging app; it is focused on being a chat application. DMs and chat apps are different; DMs are designed to serve microblogging platforms.
It's interchangeable language.
Absolutely not. DMs prefer multi-device synchronization over forward secrecy. Chats prefer forward secrecy over multi-device synchronization.
So I should not tell people to DM me on Signal? I've been saying that for nearly a decade. My bad.
You're conflating the two & ignoring the nuance nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqj9swg4 just explained. There's a difference in architecture between twitter & telephony. But if folks understand you when you tell them to "DM my cell" I guess it's a non-issue for you.
As I understood from @keychat's evidence.. You need to tell users to Chat with you on Signal but not DM you for Privacy communications.. I guess it is a great starting point to schedule and improving our privacy on private chats..
I'm not sure from the user point of view there's any difference, though.
