IMO, DMs on Nostr are such a fucking disaster that there should be a total and complete shutdown on DM features until our app developers can figure out what is going on. So many fragmented standards, so much broken, they frequently do not work for me and never fail in a way that indicates a good reason why. I think most clients should stop trying to be messengers and the same way there is NIP-A3 for payment targets, there should also be a NIP-A4 for messenger targets, so that people can just delegate to actually useful messaging apps for a while. Maybe with 2 years of clients not having DMs and autoreplying to any DM they happen to receive a full list of peoples messenger targets, maybe the major devs could very carefully sit together and agree on a comprehensive and actually good DM mechanism. But by god, this is basic functionality on every other app and it is a disaster. There is also just zero fucking market demand for yet another messenger. There’s a huge need for Nostr’s core competency, which I surmise is censorship-resistant pubsub based on cryptographic identity. Please, just stop trying to make yet another messenger app based on Nostr.
