i hope the purpose is to highlight the naughty clients who still use NIP-04 otherwise i'm not sure

same here. let's see what Dan comes back to us ☺️

NIP-04 seems better to me because it has less false promise of privacy But it would be better to have a new NIP that includes boundaries in the spec saying any apps making false promises are out of spec. No saying shit like "this hides who's messaging you" or "this is end to end encrypted." Just "this can reduce how many people can see who's messaging you" or "this is encrypted"
