Strypey on Nostr: The same things that's true of End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) on a centralised service ...
The same things that's true of End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) on a centralised service is also true of Vanishing Messages. You have to trust the service operators to honour the promises made by the app. But if you trust the service operators , why do you need E2EE or Vanishing Messages? So again, adding these features to centralised services is just privacy theatre. Nothing more.
So what about decentralised networks?
