If you’re an iPhone user would recommend requesting your data from Apple. They’re certainly better than Google but the level of surveillance is still impressive, despite them marketing themselves as a privacy-respecting company.

Interesting idea. Would the messsges be sent peer to peer then or would they still be communicated via relay? Personally I worry though about things that cause lock in to specific clients (there's a kind of centralization risk for nostr there too).
The idea of using a different key for DMs does seem useful, maybe even one that can be rotated to give forward privacy. I was working on a NIP last week for a type of onion routing for DMs and there it was suggested to use something like RSA keys. Reason being that messages can be decrypted without knowing who encrypted them and this ends up improving privacy under that scheme: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/499

What's the best setup for cellular / voice service that has good privacy / control without too much inconvenience?
To start, I finally got around to setting up VOIP service on my device now that I'm getting crazy spam on my main cell line. I essentially want to deprecate this number and have a new one only for the occasional but mandatory 2FA SMS verification. Any ideas on how to approach?

Hmm, it's the same relays only viewed from within Plebstr. It's possible my custom relay settings in Amethyst are causing it, I'll try playing around with these

@npub1gcx…nj5z Is #Amethyst moderating a user's own follows? There are pubkeys I'm following that never show up in my feed even though I know they're posting.

How about an ephemeral event that has an expiration timestamp? Can be stored but a relay should only ever include one in a response if we're before expiration (and we can delete them afterwards).

Diversity of clients seems just as important as decentralized servers for censorship resistance. A nostr app which pulls from many relays but then moderates like Twitter is essentially a Twitter app.

A feature where clients learn a user's preferences over time for "personalized boosting" would be nice.
As a first pass it could be based purely on likes or zaps. That is, promote posts from pubkeys you often zap to the top of feed.

That's doable, although it involves the sender revealing themselves at every hop since their pubkey is needed to decrypt.
I eventually decided it's simpler to use a new key to do the initial encryption and then not bother with any hops, but supposedly that it is one thing people have issues with. (There's also the issue of losing your own sent DMs if you don't remember those one-off keys. Perhaps a self DM could work here.

2023-05-05 21:17:45

- reply

I was thinking through that as well but was having trouble finding something that both works and isn't super complicated. It also increases the risk of a message getting dropped or delayed by too much if there are a lot of hops.

2023-05-05 19:35:24

Apparently this idea was already proposed and has mostly been rejected in favor of methods that use authentication. I'm not sure if I like that since the relay operator still has all the metadata when there are ways to avoid that.
