Brazilians joining need to be aware of this. #Brasil #Brazil
WTF. How are people even ok with this, is a complete mistery to me π³
Bluesky is a total shitshow
Whatβs Bluesky? #nostronly
Same deal with mastodon DMs.
Wild π€―
Nostr only π«‘
lol
DM me via carrier pigeon.
Absolutely true. Mastodon server instance admins can read everything in clear text.
Is there any good reason they kept DMs in cleartext?
Is the NOSTR DM private?
The metadata is not
Yes.
Can you prove it?
I just told someone that you were an asshole. Please tell me who.
ππππππ
And we thought NIP-04 was bad! What a shit show. π
what is the appeal of bluesky at this point, honestly, besides the logo?
And they kill people with that shit
π
It isn't clear to me what they're even trying to be at this point.
Booooooooo
No?
Decentralized in name only social media alternative to Twitter.
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? @Alex Gleason
Poor Alex, we've tagged him multiple times today about this same question in another thread π
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

Before it launched it seemed to have promise but somehow it derailed so quickly. Welp, we have nostr
NIP-104 fixes all of this.
Terrible
Devs keep pushing through. Thatβs great
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.
The only person you dmβed recently was
npub1ktt8phjnkfmfrsxrgqpztdjuxk3x6psf80xyray0l3c7pyrln49qhkyhz0
I guess he was the one
but way to welcome noobs to NOSTR. Well done. ππ»
they have a platform that empowers Karen's and feds.
This is insane, I canβt fathom why anyone would build a new method of social media without encrypted DMs
Jack was involved so what do you expect?
The sheep like apps like this one
while nostriches figured out #NosTorObot :-)
you know admins in there looking at your dick pics
Are nostrβs private?
I did DM him, but that wasn't the person. He was my decoy π I told the person via NIP-17 π₯Ή You won't know who since it was gift wrapped.
Proof 
lmao
And how do private messages work on #nostr?
What an absolute mess. BlueSky and Mastodon are just as bad as Web3 POS.
If you give them an inch theyβll take a mile. Fuck the fishbowls.
soon all centralised platforms will be sharing everything with the #Panopticon; see #chatControl.
thatβs why we need the #nostr ecosystem to flourish!
#BUIDL π𧑠#freedomtech
Nostr DMs too
SimpleX is better
Mastodon is all about giving instance admins god mode over their fiefdom.
As opposed to one single entity like X.
makes sense. thanks!
I think nostr DMs meta is accessible but not the note's body.
Lame
"Rare" cases.... like "Rare" in video game terms probably? Not so low it's legendary but not so common it's grey.
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
you know they're gonna give feds access to this. possible they already have.
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
Oh my god
Encryption? Difficult.
Privacy? Impossible.
π€¦ββοΈ
BlueSky is worse than Twitter.
Use clients utilizing the newer DM spec.
Velvet gloved totalitarianism.
How did bluesky become this way?
1. What
Smells like deployed capital.
Wow color me surprised another surveillance tool founded by @jack
yes
This is why I dislike the fediverse apps, I understand they are useful but still they have a single point of failure which is the person(s) Hosting the services. #GrowNostr
Rare my ass.
When you play left wing games win left wing prizes. π
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.
Is NOSTR DMs private?
That's why I couldn't find one of U guys over there π
