Same thoughts on Nostr DMs, avoid.

Someone posted an image of my encrypted nostr DMs on Twitter. Of course I know that it's possible to see the metadata but I didn't realize how creepy it feels. You can see who I talk to and when. You could deduce my social circles, maybe even real world activity related to my messaging patterns.

From now on, I will stop using normal DMs on nostr. The traces they leave is horrifying and you shouldn't use DMs either.

*Please do not send me any DMs from your npub if you have something to communicate to me.*

Use a random npub or a giftwrap or use a different method or use a different network to reach me.

Nostr DMs have always been a complete privacy hell and I urge anyone to realize this and act accordingly.

I repeat: DO NOT DM ME. I WONT DM YOU.
