People should be aware of this. DMs leak metadata publicly. If you want seriously private messaging use Signal or maybe Session if you don't wanna share your number.

I think future improvements will make Nostr DMs more on level with the serious E2EE messengers especially if something resembling the Signal protocol is implemented, but right now think of it the same as DMs on legacy social media, not for private comms.

DMs in nostr seem like a bad idea unless on a private relay.

Like everyone can see npubs messaging each other?

This is a serious privacy leak for DMs
