Yesterday I made a post berating anyone who comes to Nostr with an expectation of privacy. So today I will take the other side, because I really hope we get towards decent DMs and groupchats would be even better.

This is because I really dislike this ‘micro blogging’ throwing posts into the vast open world for anyone to see. There is no context to them and tends towards the parasocial really quickly; its faux social for the most part if you ask me.

Meanwhile groupchats are an actual ongoing conversation with therefor its own context and everyone getting to know everyone else; it is only after they get really big that you get about the same dynamic as with regular micro blogging.

From a technical standpoint I am not sure if ‘nostr-native’ groupchats are a good idea compared to integrating a build for purpose protocol; we will see.

For me it boils down to the fact that I don’t want followers, I want peers.
