to the ppl working on encrypted messaging "standards" on nostr: stop with the science projects, make something decent & interoperable & pragmatic that can "just work" everywhere, talk between yourselves and agree on something instead of reinventing the wheel and further fragmenting the ecosystem, stop wasting time and money and testing people's patience. doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to work and be relatively easy to implement. not my area of expertise but it shouldn't be that hard my frens.
Clearly nostr botched DMs with now some 5 competing "standards". I wish, all clients would for the sake of compatibility just keep nip4 at least as a fall-back. The fact that you can DM people from clients that experiment with new ways of sending DMs traps people feeling not heard.
